 +====== 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
 +  * buckets ​
 +
 +
 +===== 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
