Metal readily transfers heat. Dry wall slows down the heat transfer, as the water in the plaster is driven out of the hydrate bonds.
Barndominium/Shop or "real" House?

You mentioned yesterday that the Amish crew's quality of work was far from top notch. Would you mind detailing some of what you were disappointed with?

A lot of details. Almost every aspect of the build they rushed the work, crooked cuts, using a laser for elevation of the perma-columns but some of them being off 12" from one another etc.
Most of the issues were with the siding and trim. They botched many areas and I had to ask them to redo the work many times.
I paid extra money to have the outside of the windows painted black and they scratched almost every window during installation. I will have to touch them up.
There are still issues that I am not happy with but at some point just have to move on.
The overall squareness of the structure is good and the walls are plumb.

I figured there was going to be quality issues before I hired them, it's common knowledge in my area that the Amish sometimes do less than desirable work. I felt like I didn't have much choice as I spent almost two years searching for a contractor to take on the project.

OH doors were finalized today, the building is officially "dried-in".
The weather is still being a pain here, but hopefully soon the under-slab plumbing and electric will be done so I can get going on concrete.

They look great. What brand openers did you use?

The doors are CHI, and the openers are LiftMaster JHDC units.

Looking very good - like the color combination with black doors and brown siding.
I see what looks like board/foam insulation under the roofing metal? What is the plan for insulation walls etc.?
