Twisted Quail Acres on Facebook should answer your questions.....think out side of the box!

I'd like to see too but I don't use Facebook.
There are a lot of us here that do not use FB so it would be nice if you could upload a few pictures here on BYC.
If not that's ok too we just won't see.

I really need pictures please. This is a new venture that has taken off and we spent the last 2 years playing catch up and would like to get ahead of this

If you're doing this for a living and insist on a battery system, you ought to consider contacting a metal fabrication shop and see what they can do for you. You can find some pretty good deals on sheds from Craiglist too. Sometimes just making more space is better than being stressing out by trying to make everything as space efficient as possible.
