I am in the process of building a new shop. I am still going through the local planning and zoning commission for approval but the proposed size is 27' deep x 30' wide. I basically have my shop layout established on paper, but I know those things always change once you get into it, and even again later on. My question for the forum...what do you think is better: running your power overhead with ceiling mounted cord reels, or running conduit in the slab that will be poured in place with floor receptacles? Obviously the latter takes more planning and has less flexibility options, but just throwing this question out there to see what kind of response I get. The same question goes for dust collection as well. Run overhead, or in the slab with schedule 40 PVC?
Note: my interior ceiling heights will be 15'.
