My plan was to use the walls and with carefull planning and some more lumber end up with a 35x27 shop. I planned this route because i woudn't have to buy as much lumber to keep cost down. But after seeing some pole barns i might go with a 30x40 and use the 27x18 old shop as an addition. i dunno what to do yet, i do know i have pretty much unlimited space, but not a bottomless pocket lol
When you first posted I couldn't help but think that 30X40 would be a bit small.
I think the idea of adding the old shop on as an addition is a great idea.
Besides,the price of oil is holding and there's lots of work to pay for it right now right?
