just wondered if anyone had put up a steel building like they make garages and barns out of and used it as a residence and if it is possible to do so permitted? There is one here in Maine that I go by all the time and it is an Olympia Steel Building the size and shape of a barn. They turned it into a residential building and it is absolutely gorgeous inside with a loft feel and modern cabinetry and hardwood floors. It certainly provides a large sf living area but didnt know if something like that could be done as a permitted residence.
