I've helped errect several buildings over the years. The kit buildings are a lot easier, but you can get yourself in a bind if your not good with a ruler, reading directions, or don't know what plumb means!!!
My house is a 33'x42' metal building 12' eaves with a 25'x42' porch hanging off the back. Extremely energy effecient, but not too noise proof. I can hear cars drive past and I'm almost 800' off the road. I have the building insulated, a 8" air space before my stud wall, and the stud walls insulated (roof and ceiling as well). If I had to do it over, I would probably have the foam insulation sprayed in and a 4 on 12 pitch instead of the 2 on 12. Like everybody said... GO BIGGER!! I have my whole porch, a 12'x21' shed, and a 2 stall barn packed with crap! We are talking about adding on to the house, but I can't figure out the best way to do a hip joint into an existing metal roof that won't leak (any advise appreciated). I would post pics, but my landscapping sucks and as I said earlier, my porch is packed with crap!!
