WELL I HAVE A NEW SHOP! I MOVED TO FT BENNING GA AND I LIVE ON POST. I WASNT TOO SURE ABOUT WHAT I WOULD END UP WITH BUT I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I HAVE A ONE CAR GARAGE 10X18. THE DOWN SIDE IS THAT IT HAS NO POWER AND THEY WONT ALLOW ME TO PUT POWER IN IT SO FOR THE NEXT 2 YEARS I AM AN UMPLUGGED SHOP. I KIND OFF LIKE THE IDEA BUT NOT TO SURE ABOUT THE PLANING DOWN OFF THE ROUGH LUMBER BUT I CAN PAY TO GET THAT DONE. SO WE WILL SEE HOW THIS WORKS OUT. I HOPE TO POST SOME PICS OF MY NEW SHOP SOON.

I would recommend that you see if Ft Benning have a woodworking hobby shop. Most bases I am familiar with have both excellent and well equipped automotive and woodworking shops.l

Remember, there are extension cords and then there are EXTENSION CORDS! <g>
A good 10 or 12 ga. will be much better than a typical 14 or 16 ga. version. Bring money… Heavy versions are sold in home centers as air conditioner or freezer extensions.

Maybe a removable surface-mount run with 3 blocks of receptacles along one wall?

Looking forward to seeing the pics. Extensions cords work well.
