[Fot] The garage mahal

[Norlin Engineering]

Good point.  I put in three 15 amp circuits for outlets with duplex plug
spaced every 6 ft in my 26 x 36 shop.  I've ended up with 4 LBC's in a shop
that I planned for 3.  As a result, the tools and workbenches are located a
whole lot different than I originally planned.  I've got unused outlets
where the long term project cars are stored and not near enough around my
tools.  Whatever you're putting in, you'll need more.

A reasonable approach to having electric outlets everywhere and air
connections on the same basis is to use the self coiling overhead reels for
electric and air.   I have an electric and an air reel (each has about 30
feet of lead) mounted overhead almost in the center of my 30x30 garage (12
foot to bottom of rafter).  This has worked very well for me.
