[Build] electrical

[jim]

additional notes: 

   jason suggested we put 15A breakers in the boxes 
that interface between the rails and the 
cables/receptacles. this seems pretty good to me; 
it lets use use the 50 A breakers and the #6 wire 
that powers the rails without worry. 

   we'd discussed an additional sub-panel near the 
south west corner. 

   we have a fair amount of #6 and a variety of 
breakers. my understanding is that #6 is rated for 
65 Amps (though not continuous duty). can we put a 
60 Amp breaker to control #6 to a sub-panel (i'm 
thinking of the three-phase sub-panel to the 
machine shop ("dirty shop"). 

   the work mode model we've had in mind is to 
invite anyone who wants to do the work, first 
qualifying them and mentoring as need be, of course.
