I have 5 power outlets in the garage and believe I have never used 3 of them...

The elaborate installation with the (very) many sockets seems to be fun for you. It doesn't matter at all how many sockets others need. I think it's good when people do what they want without disturbing others - and many sockets in the garage will hardly affect anyone else.

Better to have too many sockets than too few. But there must be a reason why so many. I would just be interested in why this amount is needed.

So honestly, I rather go by the motto: I’d rather plug in a power strip here and there later on if necessary, than be annoyed because I’m not using a lot of outlets (because I have "too many" or they are not placed well enough) and therefore I paid unnecessary money.

Well, I am also a fan of lots of sockets and believe that when building new, you should go big rather than small.
But 50 sockets in and on the garage? The saying about using a cannon to kill a sparrow is an understatement here. That’s already in the category of a nuclear first strike...

Would you like to briefly explain why so many?

Well, I don’t just have the garage but, as my father so nicely says, a "rage room."

In this room there will be a motorcycle workshop. I need power for the compressor, the garden pump, my sewage system controller, server cabinet, etc. Quite a few things come together there.

In the house, everyone always says it’s better to have one socket too many. And since my garage is 10.5 * 7 m, I don’t find it particularly bad to distribute 40-50 sockets there.

And maybe my wife will kick me out one day and I’ll have to live over there.

Today I was allowed to operate a wheel loader all day and distributed the huge pile of excavated material on the property while also pulling out old concrete fence posts.
