Some comments about buildings; but as to how they seem to work in 
Michigan. 
What seems to work here may or may not work in your state. Skylights are 
out. With our winds you are lucky if they last 5 years before being sucked 

off the roof. Also if you try to heat the building, dripping gets too 
serious to tolerate. Around here the shop part is best built with a 
ceiling 
. Fiberglass panels are ok in the sidewalls if not heated; again with heat 

condensation becomes a big problem. Insulation under the steel I don't 
recomend. My brother did this and while he has had no problems, on days 
with sun and clouds it drives one nuts. When the sun comes out the steel 
expands a squeaks along the stryfoam, 30 seconds later the sun goes under 
a 
cloud and the steel shrinks and the whole building makes noise again. On a 

livestock building I had built about 22 years ago they  put insulation 
under the  steel but they misrepresented it and it shrunk (some kind of 
fiber insulation) and know the roof leaks bad and some sheets are coming 
loose know thjat the wind can work at them. They were state approved so I 
guess that made legal crooks. They built a couple of hundred barns around 
here in a couple of years but when all kinds of problems started to 
surface, they skipped town with no forwarding address. We checked with an 
attorney and he said To bad, SO sad. My shop is small, 24 by 24, but all I 

could afford and much better than what I had. The nice thing is that i can 

heat it year around, keeping it at 40 unless I turn it higher. This keeps 
paint etc. from freezing and keeps things from sweating on colder high 
humidity days. As an example, last week I decided to try a roll of .030 
wire in my wire welder that my brother had boughten by mistake. He had 
stored it in his shop for a couple of years(he heats only when needed) 
>From 
moisture it had rusted enough that we had to pull over 200 feet off the 
roll to get to wire that would feed through the welder.Happy building.
