Not my typical trade but I have had a guy asking me to build a 30X40 for him for a while and I finally caved...I am currently building one so I can add to this if I come up with any difficulties. As of now it has been pretty smooth. I have $12,415 in all of the materials...that is including everything from screws, man doors, trusses etc.
Looks like the drunk guys had a decent reason to be pissed, the biker may have dicked them in the crosswalk but you don't physically attack someone for that, which they did.
I believe Carter Lumber has a pole barn estimator on their website, at least they used to. You could use that and I would guess you could find a contractor that could give you a ballpark price per square foot to get a rough estimate. Carter’s estimate was a little high but it gave me an idea of what the cost would be.
I built a 24 x 32 last year 10ft wall height. It is an actual barn with 3 sliding barn doors and 1 garage door. I think I did it for like 6k. That is all materials. I did all the labor myself. I bought my metal from the Amish. Saved me $1000-1500. No warranty on metal of course, but I’ve not heard anything good about any of the warranties.
My idea of "roughing it", is staying at the Hampton....

What you wanna know hombre? Be specific.
Big things, length is irrelevant but width is. Anything over 36’ wide the price jumps huge because of expensive trusses.
2x6 laminated posts are stronger and longer lasting than 6x6
Get the metal warranty up front and in writing, not all are equal
Amish are way cheaper
I've never planned anything in my whole life. Take your trip friend; no matter what it takes; these images are nothing compared to the memories. One day I'll be old and unable, but I won't have regret about where I might have gone.
