Just signed contracts to have a new structure built and 26kw worth of solar panels and a 10kw battery installed. The 30x50 building will be attached to the rather poorly constructed existing barn (the black rectangle in the photo. I don't need a barn that big, but that's what it'll have to be to hold enough solar panels. The floor of the east half of the barn (right side, in the photo) will be concrete, and I'll eventually finish the walls and ceiling. I'm moving my 2 post lift, and this will give me plenty of room.

Vicki suggested a little retail therapy, so I've been looking a new tractors.
