I'm planning on building a little cabin-style home and I'm in the R&D/Planning phase now.
The cabin would be 20x20x10. The ceiling would be 6" thick and filled with spray foam, with 1/2" plywood on top and that would be caulked and sealed with deck sealant. The pole barn would be about twice that size to give me a nice dry area around the cabin to store firewood, park vehicles and have a nice porch without getting rained on.
Also as I want to set it up to collect rain water, an 800 sq foot roof would net me about 480 gallons for every 1" of rain.
Is there any reason why this wouldn't work or wouldn't be a good idea?
The pole barn would be Amish built with metal roofing/siding and look something kinda like this -->
