Fw: [Farmall] Only Slightly off topic: Shop and Storage building for Farmall Tractors

LH-
 Yours is an ambitious undertaking, indeed.  Of course, I  do not fully comprehend where you are and what interesting and  affordable "options" might be available to you.  Are you in "the  sticks"?  Regardless....are there abandoned structures that are  looking for occupancy on the cheap?  There are SO many  alternatives in terms of "building out" on your own property as-well-as  taking advantage of distressed situations which might result in  something good for you AND for the community.
  Just food for thought.

It looks like insulation for the roof is best installed when the roof is 
put up... so it is done like you did it.  I don't know what problems we 
would have in South Dakota and Nebraska with condensation but probably 
insulation is good for both better heating and for noise control of the 
roof.   I probably will go initially with the open rafters. 

As with getting things done, always a trade-off between time and money. 
However, with time I can look for an electrician who probably will do it 
cheaper than the package folks.  Somethings I can do, such as insultation, 
and as long as I enjoy doing it, it ain't work.  Also, the pay as you go 
appeals to me.  Main thing right now is to get my tractors together and 
inside. 

Thanks,

Larry
