    And not on the floor! Put them up where you don't have to crawl around to find an outlet.

    You will have a wonderful sewing room when it is finished.

    Just checked where you live. How are you going to keep warm out there with the concrete floor in the winter? You will need lots of light for those LONG Alaskan dark days.

    We are doing some new construction and are putting outlets about every 6 feet. Maybe some overkill but our farm house has one to two per room. Not nearly enough.

    Same concern with me, I only see two and the way I like to move stuff around, and keep finding a supposed better space for this or that, I must have many outlets!

    They are hard to see but on the wall with the windows there are 6 outlets, on the far wall there are two and on the wall without the windows there are three for a total of 10 outlets. Yes, outlets are so important! Not only am I plugging in sewing equipment but speakers, iPods, iPads and computers. :-). In addition the outlets are on two different switches so the switch won't be overloaded with everything plugged in. So, update: The mudding is done, I won't be able to paint until the 23rd, vacation and company during the next couple of weeks. After that the flooring and I can finally move in at the end of August, just in time for winter.

    I have three florescent lights down the middle of the room, then I have two 5 lamp spotlights, one on either side of the room over the quilter and one over where I plan to have my sewing table. The shop is heated throughout the winter at about 55 degrees, I will have supplemental heat in my room using a type of efficient electric heater.
