I'm curious if you have any issues with leaks in yours and if any steps were taken to seal things up when yours was built. I used great stuff foam to seal up the bottom of my building where the siding ribs meet the flashing on the grade board. I've realized that there are multiple leaks that drained out that area. Now they drain out on to the floor.

I have to go through and seal all the siding joints now.

Do you mind sharing what it cost for the initial structure, concrete pour, etc? I have been considering the same thing in the near future and I literally have no clue what that sort of thing costs.

The cost for the basic structure sized 40x60x14' (14' high ceiling) with 2 windows, 1 10x10' overhead door, and 1 service door was $22k

2400 sqft of 4" concrete reinforced with rebar was about $10k

Site excavation and driveway was about $3k.

Before you start anything make sure to check the regulations for your zoning. My original zoning was Rural Residential. That would have only allowed my building to be ~1400 sq ft, also required the colors to match the house, as well as roof overhang with soffits and fascia that would have added $3-4k to initial building price.
