Leif's shed is worth renovating because it is close to his entry and so useful. Wrapping it in trellises, painting it to match the dark house trim and a custom metal roof will be grand. Inspiration pics below via pinterest:
We choose Ideal Americana metal roofing from Canada which is custom cut and less expensive than local metal box store options, besides higher quality. Cost is $412 from "SRS Building Products" in Flemington NJ with a two week lead time, and our install is easy.
Seven years ago, Christian's cool down shed same roof cost half the price per sq. ft. It is a wonderful outdoor building to have renovated for about $3K.
This shed is 4 x's the size and required some new siding, rafters, trim, and plywood roof.
The big horse barn roof has the same Ideal metal ribbed roof and was the first we installed after Christian removed the old plywood sublayer.
Christian saved the last pieces of plywood covering a bird's nest of hatching eggs, until all flew away.
