I know that if I read all the posts here I may find the answers I need but...

I recently purchased a lot to build a house and it came with a detached garage!! The garage is approx 150ft from the house location.

Specs for Garage are as follows, 24X38. Block exterior. 9 holes for windows. One roll up door offset on 24" end. one entry door (no door but a hole). Bad roof, no electric. dirt floor. No electric, heat, no water etc.

My intentions are to use it to store a couple of cars and some equipment, maybe a small wood shop.

So my questions are:
1. What to do with exterior?? I would like it to look like an old barn not an industrial building.

2. Insulation? Inside with framed walls?, outside under siding?

3. Heating system? I plan to pour concrete floor. Wood or electric are options, natural gas not available.

4. Solar power or Heat??

I would like to hear from anyone with their experience with a topic not just what I could do, but what you have done that works.

Off topic, how can a make a picture file smaller? I was going to upload pictures but files to big.
