John,
That's a sweet design too, but I'm not sure I can push the switches that far back into the wall and get turning clearance because of some heating pipe obstructions, but certainly worth a look if I can expand the width outward. At about 52", the width will start to interfere with a door that opens towards the yard.
With all pass-throughs it looks like twelve command control switches - my LHS will be salivating !!
RTH - you're right. About the only saving grace is that, since it's a yard, the speeds will be pretty slow.
