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.
