Dear shop-talkers,

I am trying to decide how to do electrical distribution around my shop.
The super-deluxe approach would be wiring ducting with removable covers,
which allow for arbitrary placement and relocation of outlets.  This may
be too expensive, and I'm also considering hard conduit interrupted with
outlet boxes.  An important question is: at what height do I run the conduit
around my (3-sided) shop area?  Up near the ceiling would guarantee that it
not get in the way of anything, but would also make plugging things in
awkward.  Right now I'm looking at a ceiling-level main conduit run, with
tees dropping to boxes at normal level on the wall.

Has anyone any observations derived from hindsight?
