Message: [QUOTE="87Xfer, post: 3524642, member: 10566"] I don't remember and the guy was a one-man outfit, so pretty informal. I don't have any email trail with quotes or a final invoice. But if i recall he charged me around $500-600ish plus actual material costs (including painting the thing). I think it was around $1,000 before adding a few options like the 2 sliding windows, siding and shingles that match our house (HOA requirement). But know it was lower cost than a similarly specced shed from Home Depot. Amusing story (now anyway): In mid-summer, I was doing something in the shed. We're in the high-desert Southwest, so it was probably about 120 degrees in there. The wind blew the door shut. And when i pulled on the emergency release "string", it broke. I tried everything I could think of short of breaking a window or just breaking the door open. I yelled out the window at people walking up the street, but the shed is 100 yards+ off the street and not very visible. I was in there for close to 2 hours when my wife finally ventured into the yard wondering where the heck I was. When i yelled to her, she looked all around, and was like "where are you??". I replied "stuck in the ******** shed!" Instead of immediately helping, she had to ask "How'd that happen?" "How long have you been in there??" Then she doubled over laughing until she couldn't breathe. [/QUOTE]
