 Along with running power, a few cat-5e cables could be ran from the house to the workshop for network connectivity as well as other communication (e.g. analaog audio). Along with running power, a few cat-5e cables could be ran from the house to the workshop for network connectivity as well as other communication (e.g. analaog audio).

 +=== Code Requirements ===
 +
 +''​Accessory structures must provide at least 60A service. Exceptions to the 60A minimum exist for one- and two- circuit service to accessory structures.''​
 +
 +A 20A circuit could be provided for lights + computer/​electronic equipment and a second 20A circuit could be for powertools, of which no more than 2 at any time would operate (shopvac + larger tool).
 +
 +Regardless of whether code says I need a dedicated grounding rod + ground loop, I will install one.

 +====== NEXT STEPS ======
 +The shop has been built. Now, how to make it useful?
 +
 +===== Floor =====
 +Mitigate moisture and it's a bit prettier than straight concrete.
 +
 +  - Etcher ( from kit below )
 +  - [[https://​www.amazon.com/​Rust-Oleum-301239-Moisture-Stop/​dp/​B01LQTXPQY/​ref=sr_1_1?​ie=UTF8&​qid=1543604583&​sr=8-1&​keywords=rust-oleum+moisture+stop|Moisture Stop]]

 +
 +==== Tools ====
 +  * Spreader
 +  * shoe tacks
 +  * solvents for cleaning up
 +  * 1 x Plastic garden watering can
 +  * 1 x 5 gallon bucket
 +  * 1 x Weiler 44026 Palmyra Fill Deck Scrub Brush with Wood Block, 10" Overall Length
 +  * 1 x More utility knife bladest
 +  * 1 x Disposable tray (we have metal base somewhere)
 +  * 1 x Rollers (we have these somewhere)
 +  * 1 x Mr. Long Arm 3212 Pro-Pole Extension Pole, 6-to-12-Feet (we have this somewhere)
 +  * 4 x Paint Sticks (free behind the counter at Home Depot)
 +
 +

 +
 +  * 2 x pieces of medium sized cardboard
 +  * 3 x Rust-Oleum 301239 Moisture Stop
 +  * 2 x Rust-Oleum 261845 Epoxy Garage Floor
 +  * 2 x Rust-Oleum 279847 EPOXYShield Anti Skid 3.4-Ounce

 +  * 1 x Premier Paint Roller 69730 Plastic Drop Cloth, 9-Feet by 12-Feet, 3-Pack
 +
 +===== POWER =====
 +
 +  - Either EMT (electrical metal tubing) to route around the shop.
 +  - 100A Breaker box - suitable for branch from house or own box (need to research if Duke power does cheap meters for workshops/​garages)
 +  - LED over head lights
 +  - I could include a transfer switch and use the generator to power the workshop--it'​s added cost but will let me delay the cost of getting a mains hook up.
 +  - The workshop seems like the perfect place to experiment with DIY solar power tie-in. Boy, I'd love to have a stack of salt-water batteries.
 +  - In the very least some deep-cycle batteries for running ventilation fans seems like a good idea
 +
 +==== Required tools ====
 +
 +  - Conduit cutting tools (probably already have an adequate saw, but a purpose-made tool will speed things along)
 +  - Conduit bending tool (good for other stuff too!)
 +  - 12' ladder for running wiring and lights
 +  - Proper wire strippers (going to be doing a lot of stripping, time to get a good pair of strippers)
 +
 +
 +===== Big Ticket Tools ===== 
 +
 +I'm sure I've made this list in a dozen places already.
 +
 +  - Table saw
 +  - Band saw
 +  - Stick welder
 +  - Miter saw
 +  - Drill press
