I'm going to have to get extra electrical added after the fact, the builder charges way too much to have them put a gazillion outlets in. Afte the fact has got to be less expensive.
Actually before the fact should be much less expensive..running wire before sheetrock is applied to the walls is the way to go. The builder should not be charging that much more to run a few more circuits and wire...as LA said, if he is..you may be in for some unpleasant surprises from them down the road.
Malinda,
Instead of asking for a gazillion plugs, ask the builder to run 2 circuits to that room so that half the room is on each circuit that way you can have a dedicated circuit for your kiln (you are smart enough to "manage" what you plug in and use while the kiln is in use) and then your other tools on the other circuit -- not like you have the saw, grinder and soldering iron going at the same time and those should be your biggest electrical draws
The reason I have so many outlets is that I was planning the space for a teaching/lesson studio so that up to 6 students could plug in soldering irons at one time. So it would not be necessary for someone who is planning on being a single user in that room to have many outlets. But even in my home I've appreciated the newer way of electrical planning where there are outlets every 10 feet or so. Also, if you are planning on having any countertop height workspaces you might want to have them raise the outlets to just above the work surface height..so you don't have to keep diving under the counter to unplug grinders/soldering irons, etc.
