Alex, you're my hero. Wish I had the time to fiddle around with building projects more. 
I'm thinking of adding a garage this summer and expanding our tool shed. You can barely turn around in there.
At least you're using metal roofing. 3 years ago, I re-shingled the house. Didn't think it would be a problem. Three tab shingles that I've used all my life are 50 lb. bundles. No one told me the architectural shingle bundles are 80 lbs. each. I carried all 36 squares up the ladder myself. That's over 4 tons of shingles. The first few days I felt like my body was broken.
