So I got the panel installed. Now I need to decide how to run circuits to the machines. I'm leaning towards insulating the walls, adding drywall and running everything in EMT. The ceiling is still up for debate. What do people think about the ceiling? Part of me wants to keep it open, the other part is thinking about how to effectively heat it. I am going to add collar ties so I can remove the lower supports but I'm undecided on adding a drop ceiling.
The attached pictures should show what I mean.
As far as getting power to the table saw I have 2 options. a) Since the shop is on the second floor I could run the circuit under the floor. b) Drop the service down from the ceiling. Does a drop down get in the way?
Other thoughts on this space welcome.
