I don't have a long arm, but I tried very hard with our carpenter to put an electrical 'strip' along the wall about hip high to plug into. He would anything to do with what I wanted. Conventional plugs near the base of the wall was his way of doing things. Thought it was our house and I should have had my way.
Friends of ours in my mid-childhood did that and it was a great idea...anywhere along that wall, she could plug in an iron or an electric fan or whatever and no cords were dangling down in the way. I wondered why more people did not do it that way. Just my thinking. Check out the organized section of QB for ideas. Do remember to put heavy things next to the floor, where you don't have to lift them down, but can pull them out easily or pull from a shelf next to the machine stand or a large ironing board folding down.
