I'm happy as a clam that I found a place to do wood working and not worry about getting kicked out.

You need #2 wire for 700 feet and 20 amps.

I'm just saying that's how big the entire length of the buildings are. It's really hard to tell exactly where the wiring goes from the breaker boxes, but I still don't see many boxes compared to the length.

Look for the wires from the telephone pole to the building if your area does not use underground wires. You want to get a unit close to the breaker box that is nearest the feed to the building.
 
Just an update: I plugged in my craftsman air compressor and it fired up immediately. At the other place I turned it on and it didn't hardly even try to turn on, so hopefully I won't have any problems, so I guess I won't need the generator at all now. I actually bought it to do night fishing so I can run lights and for some reason I can't get anyone to go with me anymore.
