[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3362640, member: 26737"] If you can do the work yourself, you can often get a screamin' deal on a used red iron building. When a local church built a new sanctuary a few years ago, my dad put in a sealed bid for the relatively new 40x30 red iron garage they had on the site. I don't recall how much it was, but it was less than $6K for the building, the plans, the electrical (including lights, switches, conduit, etc), and even the pipe rail fence that surrounded it. All he had to do was take it down and get it off the site by the time they started their construction project, and he did that pretty much singlehandedly. When we put it up a few years later, he had some help with the concrete work, but he, one of his former coworkers, my brother's father-in-law, and I put the red iron structure back up with the help of a tricycle-gear tractor with a bucket on the front. I don't know how much he had in the concrete work, but I doubt he had more than $15K in it, all told, including whatever he paid the guys he hired to put the sheetmetal skins back on it. [/QUOTE]
