Wow, Nice Job! Did you insulate the walls before you finished them? Did you buy a "kit" ? I'm going to look into a few local companies for some prices. I may look into cutting some features; floor, insulation, interior finishing, just to get a building up.

John,
The side walls I insulated first. Then I put in insulation in the top as well as the vapor barrier insulation as I was going to be heating this one all the time.
What I do when I buy these is at Menards they have a computer program that you can design whatever building you want. Then it prints out whatever materials you need from there. So it isn't really a kit. All the specialty work you have to figure on your own, like heating, plumbing, electrical, and concrete.

The Mennonite built mine, do you have any in your area, or perhaps Amish? I sent for three bids, including Morton and a local contractor. The local contractor didn't bother to get back to me, Morton was double the price and the Mennonite came within budget. No bird protection or wainscoating around the bottom, but every bit as good a job otherwise. Send me a message if you would like more information.
