$14k?! How close did you keep track? Back of an envelope or Excell spreadsheet?

Bank account.... around 6K in trims/doors/windows and rest in lumber

What about metal?

.. okay metal/trims/doors/windows was 6k or a break down rounded:
- metal/trims 5350$
- used garage doors 500$
- used windows = 100$
- used man door = 50$

Sorry, not that I don't believe you. I just want to know how you did it. Gives me a little hope.
Are those Canadian dollars?

Yes, CAD.

Just an idea; I see Menards has pole barn kits. Almost the same as I build; a 30'x40' is shown at 11.7K: http://www.menards.com/main/buildin...4422811565-c-9901.htm?tid=6956965303394367578

I probably deserved some Darwin nominations for my solo barn build. Its great when a plan comes together. I think the trusses/boom pole off the forks was the toughest part (I had 32' attic trusses).

How did you make that?
