We plan on building our house on our waterfront parcel across the street from the garage next year. We spent alot of upfront time thinking about the colors and look of the garage as we wanted it to match with what we do with the house. Here are some inside pics of finished 2nd story and one from the water (Dockside)

I would bet that this project would be cheaper in the long run using metal building construction.
The e-bay building someone spoke about 'ARE NOT DEALS!' Check with your areas builders for small metal building manufactures. Make sure the building are 'engineered' for your codes with respect to IBC or governing code, wind, lateral and snow loading. Your live and dead loads will need to be calculated for the loft or 150 psf is an overkill number you can use - again check with with your codes!
Also - don't forget the majors. Butler, Star, VP, Metallic, Rigid, Kirby to name a few. EVERY metal building manufacture is hungry right now. But, line it out quickly - I'm hearing a steel material increase in coming next month/early Sept.
Best of luck!

THANK YOU! I never even thought about that option. I have a truss company working on it (called this morning) and they should have something for me Monday sometime as well as Gambrel trusses for the roof. Again, a huge thank you to everyone who has given their thoughts!!!!!
