Frosty, Congradulations on pouring the crete for the shop floor.

 My last shop had 8 floor pockets, the current shop has just 5 but I knew
where I wanted them and things don't tend to stay plugged in forever in
them.

Sounds like an interesting idea for the smaller plug ins, but it will be
interesting to see how your exhuast draw is on the smaller legs.
