    We have a new tech/garage section. Why don't you post how you built it for that
    money? List parts, what you did yourself etc.

    I'll give you your money back......:clap: heck, I'll even let you make a profit. I'll give you......1850. :huh: Seriously though, that is nice. Probably fairly easy to keep cool/warm. I'll eventually build a metal one. It'll be a year or so though. Looks good!! (y) Preston

    Seth -Yeah thats the Gt in the corner before I did the front.
    Maverick 73 -the Sign says=No Parking-Mercury Comet Parking Only
    Maple Mav -Yes that includes concrete poured and finished by me
    Ok Did all the work myself including finishing concrete.

    Form -Lumber- $70.00
    Concrete-Delivered- $396.00
    Concrete Finisher Rental- $45.00
    Carport+ 2 ft taller- $821.00
    Metal for sides- $436.00
    Screws- $21.00
    Garage Door & Lock- $180.00
    Trim made by local sheet metal shop-$126.00
    Caulk for sealing up- $24.00
    ________________________________________
    SubTotal $2119.00
    My Labor of about 40 hrs- Priceless
    Total- $2119.00
    Sorry but the $1800 was just adding it up in my head and I had forgotten a few things but still not bad for it I dont think
    Frank If you want I could take some closer pics of how I did the end walls. I used 2"X 2"X 1/8 angle for the back wall and 2"X2" Square tubing for the front to attach the doors. The walk-in door is a insulated panel I had from a job years ago in my Metal Fab days.It is 44 inches wide so the bikes will go in the easy. Later Folks Tim

    Nice garage.
    Me and my father built a 20x20 shop out of wood w/ vinyl siding for around 3100.
    Thats concrete, siding, putting the stud centers on 18'' building the rafters, shingles, doors, bench, etc.
    I'll get a list if he still has it.
