In finishing a basement how should electric outlets be spaced ( how far
apart )


No set rule. A popular saying is "You can't have too many outlets."
Your answer depends on how you will be using the space. I have my 120v
outlets spaced about every 5-6 feet on the wall, one 240v outlet on
every wall. In addition, there are a few outlets on the ceiling for
an array of shop lights. Also, think about if you might ever want
switched outlets--now is the time!
