Great idea John. I may do that - put a emergency light on a slatwall cleat and wire in a plug. I am going to want one by the mezzanine's steps but not sure where it will be. It most likely WILL have a plug nearby though.
Jim, I saw a guy on garagejournal wrap his exposed pex in diamond plate - it looked awesome. Building my plasma cutter machine maybe I will get creative. I prob should at least box it in play. That pex has been like that for 3 years now. Your idea is valid though - and now you have just jinxed me - THANKS!! lol
Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.
