[Build] Electrical Tracing Party

[Shannon Lee]

So if I'm understanding correctly, the current plan is:

* Run 1.25" conduit from the Front panel back the kitchen, and run cable
through it
* Run 1.25" conduit from the Front panel to the shop, and run cable through
it
* Install a sub-panel at the kitchen
* Install a sub-panel in the shop
* Make local runs & outlets in the shop and in the kitchen
* Put the Front panel back together
* Trace out and label the runs from the Front panel.

This is, I understand, a completely simplistic writeup of a set of complex
tasks, but I want to get a handle on what needs to be done.

If you look at the current, All New! taped out layout of the walls, it puts
the shop very close by the Rear panel, which would make for an easy run.

Do we really need 3-phase?  I understand that it's there in the front panel,
and we'd be silly to rip it out, but is this something we could leave as a
future possibility rather than something we're doing now?

I'll be in the space tomorrow and Sunday; I may be working on walls with Zed
or I may be free to help out with Electrical, if either of you are around.

PS, I think we should name our panels after Chinese deistic entities.
