If the south half of your roof is 9 ft x 25 ft your building can't be too much bigger than a one car garage. Can you move the building closer to your main building site before you run electicity to it?
Eight hundred feet between your buildings is about 1/6 mile. That's a long way to have to walk back and forth every time you need a tool or bolt, especially through mud, in bad weather or at night - normal repair work conditions. You would probably just drive every trip. Buying more duplicate sets of tools isn't cheap either.
A generator would give you a chance to try using the building as a shop for a while without sinking a lot of money in it. An inexpensive 3000 to 6000 watt generator could be a good short term solution for your electicity needs. You should get most of your money back out of it if you sell it.
You want enough generator capacity so that you can blow any fuse and still power the lights without stalling the generator. A 1 HP motor needs about 1000 watts of power minimum. A standard 20 amp 120 volts circuit requires is 2400 watts minimum and may draw over 3000 watts for a shart time before a slow-blow the fuse blows. It's also very handy to have some lights on a seperate circuit so all the lights don't go out when you do blow a fuse.
Be sure to check the duty cycle of any generator you consider, they are never built to run at 100% power for 100% of the time.
