i finished the solar shed extension yesterday (except for the gutter, which i still need to add): https://youtube.com/shorts/F6OI4zJyxSc?feature=share
currently the water tote is under there, but once the gutter goes up, the tote can be moved outside and start receiving water. then i can start putting things under the extension (mostly garden and construction supplies, buckets, etc.). THEN i can start taking down the other extension that's not really doing its job right now (it leaks and is not really fixable, but i will re-use the materials).
and at some point in the distant future, maybe i can add more solar panels to the current array (which is on the solar shed itself, but now there's more roof space for panels to go). but i'll probably need a larger charge controller before i can do that. anyway, one step at a time!
