Would it be feasible to prop up/level the entire roof structure and build in new sides off the new slab?

id advice taking off and using slaters felt and frame it outwards leaving the inner frame
nope
has to support the extra wood work needed to hold your plasterboards up as well as any extras including a person if needed for repairs
too much weight and the frame splays outwards
unknown if framework is any good so new frame work needed and also some new roof frames to support extra weight

Hmm, food for thought.
Not sure if i'm up for demolishing it as @8ob suggested.
But, i'm considering it now, hmm, i think i'll sleep on it, and think about it tomorrow, its not a bad Idea, but more work than i'd planned on.
Thanks for your thoughts as ever, back tomorrow.
For more silliness.
Its for thé next 40 years, if i last that long, fingers crossed.

No, planning is not an issue.
It's on the land registry things, cadastre over here, so if i knock it down tomorrow, it's not an issue.

look your framework can be saved and added too to make it stronger and water tight as well as insulating it
it looks good old oak wood may be really stable and yes it maybe not as well all depends on what you find
that would mean it would be better to build an external wall instead

I've loads of stone, and my mate teaches stone work.
He's offered to get his students on site.
Minimal cost stone work, maybe some phone calls tomorrow...
Could look nice..

Fnarr.u dirty little man
Ooo, bigger than it looked from the outside... I wondered if you had headroom for a lift with a car on it.
If you seal the corrugated metalwork, concrete block some pillars in for the I beam you can just insulate the inside. You won't have condensation issues. I'm never sure about kingspan type stuff and fire - it needs to be covered with something?
