I would suggest you look at the all steel round top quonset buildings. They come in DIY kit form in just about any size and configuration you want (I put up a 60' X 100"). A building the size you want can be erected by you and a couple buddies in two/three days (after you complete the slab). Snow/Wind loads are great. If you select the design that has 6' or so vertical side walls the interior space is almost 100% usuable. The galvalume coating on the steel ensures a long, maintenance free life and the reflective quality makes for easy lighting. After researching extensively I came to the conclusion it was the way for me to go considering total cost (site preperation, slab (contracted 6,000 square feet - 5-6" rebar and plastized re-inforcement), kit cost, and installing). There are several companies selling/making these things and they seem to try to get very competitive for on-site delivery. I was 64 young years old when I got mine and with four guys we had a lot of fun putting it up. By the way-rodents,termites, and bugs of all kinds seem to shy away. No rotting timbers, no painting, etc. I got mine from SteelMasters out of one of the Carolina's. Hope this helps. Let us know what you select. Bigger the better. Bob Farrell

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
