I though about solar but I would want a ground mounted system back from the house, IMO the panels, like cell towers are eyesores plus where I could put them is my leech field. I also cannot justify the cost and ROI.

I agree. My system is roof mounted, covers the whole roof, and the black panels blend in very well... you have to be looking for it to even notice mine.

I have a 2 story house, cleaning the panels would be dangerous and almost impossible.
The hell with the panels, I want that shop!

She's right.
I’d be in there 20/7
That's more square footage than my house, damn you!
I almost had a 32’x26 or28’ home shop Except City Permitting 
so been renting 2-12’x24’ storage/shops 10 blocks away with limited electric & No ac since 2016ish now $390 month, would’ve already paid off the home shop

I have plenty of room for a shop but where I want it is my septic field. I can deal with what I have, been able to for 20 years. I don't see any more frame off restorations, 3 is enough.

We timed the market right... no way I could afford the same place today!
We bought in 2012 for a little over half what it's worth today.
4.5 acres in the country, on a blacktop road, 10 miles from a growing city with lots of career options, and a good "small town" school district... checks all the boxes, and is in high demand now... just wish I could pick it up and move it all to someplace with warmer winters and fewer commies.
