- Getting old. Sold the ranch. Sold the tractors. Moved back to the city.
I've done both.
My shop is a 24 x 42 ft steel building with 12-ft walls, two 10x10 ft rollup doors, one man door, one window, 26 ga steel panels. It's on a concrete slab 6" thick, 4000 psi concrete, #4 rebar on 24" centers. Cost: $16K for the building installed by the contractor, $7K for the slab poured professionally by a contractor (in June 2005).
I built a 20 x 28 ft wood pole frame building with sloping roof (11 ft in front, 10 ft in back). The posts are set on concrete footings and are attached with Simpson post anchors. Siding and roof are 29 ga steel R-panel. Cost: materials about $4K and a month of my time (I'm old and I work slow) in 2009.
Good luck
