Hey All:
I am finally finishing as a real space my pathetic little 10x20 shop - from concrete floors and crumbling walls to a real space (pics will follow hopefully as that will mean I am done). I am eager for a good DC solution. In one corner, behind an entry door, is a perfect place to enclose my anemic but loud 1.5 HP old Delta DC. Here is my question: before I frame it in, is it bad that my DC would be sharing what is basically a medium sized closet with the electrical panel? There would be room to open the door, pull out the DC, and pull circuit breakers etc. But is all that dust near the electrical control panel any cause for concern?
This house has already been through one fire, so perhaps I am being paranoid but I just don't want to create any potential hazard. Thanks for any thoughts.
