phxraptor,
If it were me, I'd go with a nice steel building. Thirty miles to the East of you in Athens, Tx. there are two steel building manufacturers 1. Red Dot Buildings 2. Athens Buildings. I'v seen some of the Athens Buildings and they looked fairly good. Also, there is a Metal Mart store on Rt. 31 before you get to Athens. They have everything you need to build your own building.

Also, for those who probably don't know, the comment about fruit cake refers to the Corsicana Bakery. They are one of the largest bakers of fruit cakes in the US.

On The Lake, Thanks for your help. I will check them out. Now I get the fruit cake thing, I believe the fruit cake factory in Corsicana IS the best known in the world.

PM wroughtn_harv. He might know contractors. Or, go to thier get together.... Lots of Texan TBN'rs there might have input.

Harv has some pictures of a garage he's building in "Build it yourself" forum...

Pick up a copy of Country World newspaper. It carries a lot of ads for building contractors and supplies in east Texas. It's a freebee, I see it at the tractor dealers but I am now a subscriber. $20 a yr mailed. Just received this weeks edition. It is a place to start and you could ask for references.

The facts are:
It is bigger <font color="red"> "People are still talking about the time Johnny Carson had a (Corsicana) fruitcake brought onto his television show with a forklift, and the cake was so heavy it smashed his desk."
</font>

and better: <font color="red"> "Gourmet food magazines have praised the Corsicana fruitcakes, and Consumer Reports has listed it as the best."
