As a Farmer and Contractor, I"ve been on both sides of quite similar predicaments. Here"s my conclusion. You will NEVER be satisfied with reworking what you have. You will be far better off building a new structure the way you want it. Sure, it will be more expensive, but in the long run you"ll be much happier. You"ll probably have to go to the bank, but you"ll probably have a break on some taxes, too. You said that what you already have needs a new roof. What about what"s attached TO that roof? Those boards have probably gone thru decades of stress from wind, snow, dry rot, who knows? Are you sure that you want to spend all this time & money reusing materials that are past their prime? Your labor will triple with any rehab project. This extra time could be used for something more productive, don"t you think? Plus, the extra time that you"re spending on this strenuous task is exposing you to a much larger chance of injury, causing you loss of work and income. As I began in this reply..."I Been There, Done That!!!" My Father had the same mindset as what you"re pondering. I"ve moved chicken houses, hog houses, barns, jacked "em up, put lean-tos on "em...you name it. Never Again. trust me, it"s not worth it. (forgive any grammer or puntuation errors).

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
