The old asbestos roofs have to be removed first (by law!) and then they are prepared with a new roofing which will finally be covered with the panels -it's a very extensive area. Generators will be installed in the area which housed the old milking parlour and in my old office they are having an operating theatre built and a sanitorium for sick animals. Note how Italian workmen follow health and safety -hard hats, harnesses, protective clothing -not a thing in sight!
1 Removal of asbestos roof (all dressed in specail clothing and masks!)
2 New delivery of solar panels
3 Area already re-roofed
4 Safety a priority when working on a roof.
5 Removal of old parlour -note workman inside bottom right.
6 Shadows cast by un-roofed structure
7 Unloading
8 Hard at work?!
9 Curious heifers
10 Long view back
Your farm looks massive, and now up to date with solar panels, with all that sun, looks like free leccy.

Operating theatre, is that normal for a farm ?
