The kit is currently sitting in my yard (see photos below), in Lawson Valley (about 5 miles east of Jamul town). The manufacturer is still in business, and still offers the same model (so support and parts are readily available). My kit is for a model “A”, and it is 20' wide and 12'3" high in the center. The building comes in any length that's an increment of 2', and my kit is for a 60' length. You could purchase more sections from the manufacturer to make it even longer.
The building is designed to be mounted on a concrete pad, and California-approved engineering drawings and a construction manual are included. There's also several buckets of special neoprene-gasketed nuts and bolts (more than should be needed). The photos below show all the parts stacked on two racks I built for the purpose (they're included if you buy the kit from me).
The kit originally cost me just over $12,000 ten years ago. The first offer over $8,000 takes the kit immediately; otherwise the highest offer we receive before June 30 gets it. American cash only, please, unless we already know you.

Brings back memories, looking at that pile. My dad built a similar barn, with help from my brothers and me. I calculated about 6000 bolts for our barn. I own the land and barn now - had to keep that in the family. I'm a bit disappointed to hear about its poor fire resistance. Like you, I assumed that it would hold up better than that.
