No. Sorry. That's WAY too big!
Seriously, that should be an awesome building! How tall? Looking forward to seeing it go up.

Looking forward to it. Just watch how they cur the outer two 2x's on the triple 2x's used for post. The guys who built mine cut through through the center 2x from 1/4 to over half way through when cutting the outer ones. they had to scab additional 2x's to reinforce their screw up. they were going to let it go, but I caught it.

What is this building setting you back? Are you planning on heating it in the winter or just keeping it as cold storage?

Did anyone ever answer the question if Morton will let you finish your building? Do they build just shells?

They will build from a shell, to a finished building. I did all my own electrical and sub-contracted the concrete floor, but they built, installed, and finished the shells interior walls.

We feel Morton is a first class operation. Our build went very fast (less than 1/2 the time scheduled). The crew puts in full 12 hour days, maybe an hour for lunch. The last was a 1/2 day. They get the job done very efficiently and leave behind a cleaned up building site. Our Morton rep does good follow-up, too. We just got invited to a free dinner at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, IL, in August, almost 2 years after the build. Morton takes care of its customers.
