With nine foot ceilings, I don't think that I'll have any overhea
outlets. However, all of the outlets in my shop will be at 48" off th
ground, so no matter where I put a bench, less-that-mobile tool, etc
it's won't be a pain to get to the plug-ins.
Thanks for all of the great ideas that everyone has given me

Another consideration to wiring your shop. I recommend having the lights on
a separate breaker from everything else. Nothing worse than a tool blowing
a fuse and the shop going dark!

We have twenty foot ceilings in the shop at work and there
are drop down (reels) almost everywhere.
Of course this can get/be a wee bit expensive.

Has anyone told you, outlets every two foot?
Don't Ask Me How I Know This.
