I think Billy is on track here, plant the rye and take some time to think things out. I plant rye for all of my undecided customers, it grows fast, has a dense root structure, and makes a great green manure when you get to work on the final design. You would do well to include a retaining wall as Bvan mentioned, but it doesn't have to be this year? After investing in this building, wouldn't it be nice to use stone?

Is the slope on the long edge of the roof, opposite the gable? If so, and no form of leader and gutters are used, think about putting in a six inch deep curtain of 3/4 inch gravel around the foundation. This will help reduce soil splatter on your siding and hold water long enough to disperse it without a quick run-off that forms erosion.
