It's all about the ballast.

I'm planning something similar. I'm inspired by this design. It incorporates the router table and outfeed table as well. Plus, he's using the same saw I have.

10K to pour a standard garage floor?

I'm a little confused, so just to clarify: When you pull the low-voltage wires from the vacuum terminals, and plug in the vacuum, does it start running immediately, or do you have to turn it on manually?

Make a fuss with the builder if you think he will re-pour it. The time is now. If you're going to use your garage as a shop, it'll forever annoy you. If you want to appreciate what the slope will be like, pick up one of those 6' tall plastic utility shelves and set it up on the garage floor.

No one disagrees with what the NEC says, so why repeat the strawman? :see:

They will roll. AMHIK.

Then why argue about it? :headscrat Can I assume you wired the 5-20R on a dedicated cct?

It's an unusual rule in the NEC. I'm not sure if it's the same for the CEC. If a person is going to go through the trouble of using 12-2, may as well use 20R and a 20A breaker. 20A and 15A receptacles are different. The 20R is more shallow around the terminals. It's subtle but it's there...

Beer fridge. Full size.

As long as the branch feeds more than one receptacle. If it's a dedicated cct with a single receptacle, then a 20A is required. If you look closely, they are different enough that wiring a 5-15R with #12 is a PITA.

Doesn't take much to trip a 15A breaker with shop equipment, hence the multiple recommendations for 20A. Take back the 14-2 and get 12-2 and use the 20 A receptacles. If you go with the 15A receptacles with 12-2, you will be limited to a 15A breaker. Note that wiring 15A receptacles with 12-2...

When you're drilling and screwing, it's handy having two drills instead of changing bits repeatedly.

In my garage, if I sit in my task chair facing the garage door and lift my feet, I roll out of the garage. Any item with wheels must be blocked or it begins to roll. Any floor standing shelf looks ridiculous without a two by four at one end to bring it to some sort of level. I feel your pain.
