We're in the middle of a sizeable remodel on our house, and in adding up
the electric and gas requirements I'm looking at something close to a 400
amp service (of course, that's not just the new shop...) and enough gas to
feed 600K Btu of stuff.
I'm trying to figure out whether it's desirable to talk to PGandE about
putting in 3-phase power as a hedge against my scoring a decent used
Bridgeport sometime in the next year.

I think someone already said "At least 2 inches" and I'd second that.

Storage, storage, storage. It's always been a battle getting organized.
I'm finally going to have a little more room to play with.
I've got five Vidmar tool/parts cabinets from the Mare Island Naval
Shipyard auction in storage now, until the house has a roof on it again.
