    Great economic housing and storage idea. Got the land for cheap I’m sure. Giant steel building probably one of the cheapest options you could go for. Sweat equity just interior walls.

    Way to go whoever you are!

      You have no idea how hard it is wire, plumb, heat, cool, and add rooms. My one Daughter of mine as a FIL who has been a successful contractor. And they did something similar to that, building a house out of a pole barn and while mostly happy with the results so far, it was not as ideal as first thought in the end. The heating bill is insane with those crazy high ceiling.
