    just remember that nothing in a typical house has the current draw of the machinery and tools in the shed and some of your tools will require "clean" power.

    then you need to decide if you're investing in a 3 phase generator, which might be desirable if you're putting air con in the house.

    I suggest you determine how you will cook, generate hot water, heat and cool the house before settling on a generator as the house load might be able to act as a balancing load for the shed.
    Inverter style AC units are the way to go and run on 220 single phase.

    I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds
