Dave, Something to think about. Boss wanted the color of the siding and roof to be the same as her house. So the siding is a blue/gray, the 35 year shingles are charcoal.
I positioned the barn so the doors face the house. Then installed a security light to discourage break ins. So far so good.
I have a 1 ft eve, no gutters to clean. Flowers on ground to prevent rain from splashing dirt on siding. Barns with no eves will require gutters. Some barns with no gutters look green with mold growing on siding, water gets on siding.
I would also recommend translucent panels under the eves. Mine are about 2 ft, to the first perlin.
I put my barn on the highest part of property. Removed the sod. Got everything laser level before construction.
I have no desire to insulate mine. Today it was sunny. Outside temp 35. Inside temp close to 50. The dark metal acts like a solar collector. I can always count on a 10-15 degrees warmer inside if the sun is shinning. Keep in mind, no insulation, no heat source. The 6 in concrete floor acts like a heat bank.

The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
