I plan on using a wooden siding, more for ascetics than anything. The shop butts up to the house on one end, the house has vinyl siding but I don't want that for the shop. I was thinking about just using a rough cut pressure treated fencing slats, I can set the ends at random and just cut to length without a lot of waste.

As far as the roof, I think you all have convinced me to use OSB as an underlayment and insulate between that and the metal roof panels. The additional cost will be off set by the drop in temperature and the moisture barrier. I still plan on insulating the ceiling at some point although that may be later after the walls and doors.

Some great ideas here, thanks for the input.
