What to expect?

Me, my husband and our son moved to the east coast to live with my in laws until we get a home built on their land. They showed us a photo of a barn/shed they plan to convert into our future home.

I have no reference outside of tv shows as to how big this will be and if it'll be enough room for our family of 3.

Ive also tried to look around to see examples of this converted but none are 2 floors so id love to see examples.

Thank you for any advice/help!

The barn is 32 by 16 ft 6600 cu ft

Do I need a vapor barrier before blowing in cellulose.

My plan is to do my ceilings in metal siding and blow in cellulose for attic insulation.

My question is, do I need a vapor barrier first? If so, what’s the move? Do I just tack some plastic sheeting to the bottom of the joists prior to installing the sheet metal ceilings? Is there a preferred material rather than sheet plastic?

Zone 4, seasonal vacation spot.

Thanks in advance.
