I only have one ring mains to do all my cooking, work etc.
Since my location is remote so a lot...
Was wondering if the gurus can critique and/or provide recommendations on my plan to install two sub-panels in a (50'x100') 5,000 sq ft steel building that I plan to use as a hobby woodworking and welding shop.

For years I have been using the standard, disposable blue overlay shoe covers. They do the job, but they are a right pain.
