Apologies for being OT, but these days I cannot look at a roof without wondering how I would smother it in solar panels, Your roof is just begging for some in an E<-->W config, especially the flattish top floor bit, and then there's still the carport...

 

[maumau]

I hear you Ron there's soooooo much roof space perfect for solar but I might be selling.......maybe.
