Here is a little food for thought, when you are planning to build a new shop look at the trees around the location you chose. I built mine under a bunch of oak trees , thinking the leaves will help keep it cooler in the summer and when the leaves are gone the sun will warm up the metal roof helping warm it in the winter Now that the acorns are falling, sounds like a hailstorm sure glad I did not build it out by the walnut and pecan trees

Man, I'd hate to live under a coconut palm.

Better life through Zoodles and poutine...
Sounds like one heck of a nice location where you are though ! All evergreens and aspen where I am and the aspen don't like it much. Altitude a touch too low. Some day I want to travel to a place with trees like you mention just to see 'em! Nah I don't get out much.

trees are them big things that shed their leaves every fall and cover up the grass and then the war dept makes YOU clean them up, so she can see HER grass again
I think I saw one when I was in North Carolina this summer---Strange looking plants.
