I am fortunate enough to have worked all thru the last year of restrictions and isolating, I also lost my wife to Pancreatic cancer in Dec. 2019 so to say that it has been a rough patch would be the understatement of the century ( for me at least ).
As the most recent bright spot has come along, I have been approved to start construction of a new workspace, and move my machine shop from a bedroom in my basement ( currently 10' X 12' ) ! My original plans have changed a few times already but I have come to the final size being 24' x 24' with 10', 2"x6" walls. This will primarily be workshop with the ability to park inside for inclement weather, there will be gas heat , 4" 4000 psi edge thickened edge slab and a 8' X 10' roll up door to give back alley access for adding new machinery . Any suggestions for the quantity and spacing of outlets from others that have done it, I have already increased the electrical from 30 to 60 amp service with (2) 220V outlets ( and learned from discrepancies ) would be appreciated! Being there is still 2' of snow in my back yard I have a while to make decisions as to the interior finishing. I do know as a fact I will be sheeting over the drywall with 29 GA steel ( light grey ) to protect from grinding sparks and gutting oils behind where my machines will be placed. Here's looking toward a better 2021!
