The only expenses I anticipate for my old barn are "haul away to the

a full-fledged, cavernous genuine "farm barn" with a poured concrete
floor. Mucho dinero.

Probably true for conventional wood beam construction. I've seen some
interesting steel beam and skin construction recently that looks half
way affordable however. I was in one last week that was serving as a
wind surfer/kayak store (on topic), about 3,000 sq ft with 20+
ceilings. The owner said it came in at about $50/sq ft including the
slab and site prep.

Ahh, yes, but the steel buildings I have seen are butt ugly.

Check these guys out. I've been involved in one of their custom jobs and
was very impressed.

Wow! The 'Less Bold' building here

would be a welcome addition on any farm, I'd think!
