Why? The owner parks his cars in an attached (to his house)
garage. He erected this building to have a place for his pickup,
do woodworking, and do equipment maintenance.

Interesting. Got pix? I suspect people could learn from your
experiences if you put 'em on a web page with a bit of how-to
info.

Vehicles clutter up that fine building!

Nice setup for either pool or hot water, but not the terribly
good design for space heating.

I have to admit that I could enjoy some of that SoCal weather
here just about now. :-)

Oren:

Have you seen the BIG one down below Eldorado Dry Lake on the way to
Searchlight? HUGE, HUGE, HUGE. Next time you go to Laughlin, check it out.
Or just go for a short drive to Railroad Pass and take the road to Laughlin.
Just past the dry lake on the right. I am not sure if it is PV, or if they
are using parabolic heaters and a superheated brine solution like they were
talking about doing at the Nevada Test Site. It's BIG. A lot bigger than
the one at Nellis. I drove past there just a few days ago, and didn't see
it. But then, you can't see a lot of the base from the highway.
