Couple items: 1) Route most of the outlets thru a heavy switch that is mounted out of the reach of your kids, or put a lockable cover over it. Flipping this switch as you leave will make sure all of your machines can be accidently turned on by the kids. Might have to incorporate a 220V relay if you have 22O V needs. 2) While dragging power out there, pull a phone line and also 2 wires to work a buzzer. That way, your wife can buzz you, then pick up a phone to talk to her. 3) Mount outlets 50" off the floor. That way, sheets of plywood leaning against the wall won't get in the way. 4) Outlets cost approximately $1 in parts. Put them every 4' in the area of any machines. 5) Outlets & lights need to be on seprate circuts so when breakers blow, you're not in the dark. 6) Think about an exhaust fan up high to rid heat/fumes/smoke. 7) Windows up high let in light, but are not a major security issue. 8) Thinking about a bridge or stiff-leg hoist at some point? 9) Think about storage trusses. Can gain a lot of off season storage floor space for the bulky lawn chairs, bikes & such. Good luck. Build safely.
