I found a great article on [MorningChores](https://morningchores.com/how-to-build-a-barn/) that provides a detailed step-by-step guide on how to build a barn by yourself for under $3,000. Here are the steps:

1. **How to Save From the Start**: The first step is to save money from the start by using recycled materials and doing some of the work yourself.
2. **Grade the Land**: To start building a barn, you should grade the area where your barn is going to be.
3. **Add Initial Posts**: The next step is to add initial posts.
4. **Brace Yourself**: After adding initial posts, you should brace them.
5. **Add Temporary Indoor Bracing**: Add temporary indoor bracing to keep the posts in place.
6. **Brace the Roof**: After bracing the posts, you should brace the roof.
7. **Time for the Walls**: Once you have braced the roof, it's time to build the walls.
8. **Hang from the Rafters**: Finally, hang from the rafters.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
