[Build] New to noisebridge and looking to build

I taped a piece of paper to the wall next to the main panel labeling
each of the breakers.

The subpanel in the dirty shop is two phase 50 amp, is that enough for
the machinery that's going in there?

The kitchen subpanel is three phase 100 amp, and in an awkward
location for getting power back up that column. Is there going to be
an electric oven/stove that warrants so much power?
