I like the two tone siding. Is it a single piece with different coating or two separate vertical pieces lapped?

If you take a close look at the last photo posted you can see there are two separate vertical pieces of steel siding.

Yes the two tone black is a 36" piece of seperate steel on the bottom. I've posted pics of the shell which is now complete. Now on to roughing in floor drains and bathroom. Any thoughts on what to use to close in bottom of building from bottom of grade board to ground, I need something to hold in the fill, 2 feet needed in back half! Hate to pay for treated tongue and groove all way to ground! I will have topsoil on outside up against building at some point. Thanks!

I'll be curious to see the drain and bathroom layout. And how you trench it. As far as keeping the fill in I'd say for temp purposes you could use some cheap particle board if you plan to back fill in a reasonable time. How do you plan to heat the building? Yours is the same size as mine. But unlike you I made the mistake of putting the bottom boards too close to the ground and need to get about 2" of soil out before I can start getting ready to pour cement. I plan on heating with radient floor heat. So there is 7"-9" of room needed.
