What is it like living in a manufactured steel building?
Question : What is it like living in a manufactured steel building?
Im considering building a prefab structure/ steel building on it. Something fairly large and Im going to divvy it up into two spaces. One a garage/ workshop/ studio. The other into a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living area/ office. I don’t care much what it looks like on the outside because I plan on investing in the interior.
I’ve been researching it online and would really like a good idea of what it would take but all I can find are ads and the actual manufacturers’ websites offering little to know info. Here’s my questions
Pros/ Cons
Cost
Suggestions On Size for My Idea
First Hand Experience
Im twenty one and I got my bachelors in the fall and am working and shooting for my MBA. I have a little bit of land (about 4 acres) that I inherited from my uncle when he moves to Maryland, just south of the Lawrence KS.
Ha Ha Ok maybe this will help.
The workshop would ideally fit 2 cars and 2 motorcycles, a third in a pinch maybe. And a few cabinets of tools and what not. And a few large tools.
Also as far as the natural light and what not I mean it will hopefully have windows. But where Im living there’s not a whole lot to look at. Also any links to guides or info anyone knows of would be great!

Size of the idea, is hard to measure, would specify once its measurement nomenclature is standardized.
But ideas seems brilliant, its something which is very big for you.
Pros – It would express your tastes, private, your thing,,,
Cons – No birds, natural light,wind, to wake you up, or gaze at things,,,,,
Hot in the summer. Cold in the winter. Noisy, specially when it rains. Birds walking on the roof will keep you awake. Drafty. It will eventually rust. If you don’t keep up with the paint, it will rust through. Intruders can access by unscrewing side panels. Dents and rips are difficult to repair. Doors and windows leak.
Less likely – remote lightning strikes can electrify the building. So can loss of the neutral line in a two or three phase electric service. .
