Outlets are cheap, but time is more expensive. I'm thinking about putting
a few outlets up high, about 7' on the walls of my garage shop. This is
just for the air cleaner or whatever random thing needs to be plugged in up
there. Am I just wasting time by installing outlets at that height?

Naturally, I'm going to do quite a few at 54" and 16", but it's the ones up
high I'm wondering about.

Whatever works for you but just remember not to put too many outlets on
one circuit. Up to 8 on 15 amps and 10 on 20 amp.


And it might be a good idea to put the high up outlets on their own
circuit or two. Later on you might want to be able to switch them.
