Building a garage, cost $$$$
I do not know much about building materials or garages but this looks pretty
simple to assemble. I hate to buy a garage and "get what you pay for" so does
anyone have any experience with these? I am on a low budget and it looks like a
28x28x10 garage is about 7K. Is this a good quality product? Snowload for
NY?....Thanks in advance! see link:

Ok, here is something of interest for you garage builders! This sounds like a
really good deal! Remember the post I sent that started this whole thread? It
was the link to value steel (maker of the steel garage package) Here it is again
for those that do not care to search back:
http://www.valuesteel.com This guy
quoted me roughly $7500 for a 30x32 garage kit. He sent me an installation video
showing how easy his garages were installed. It was a step by step kinda deal.
Real cool to watch. Anyways, all the installers in the video had on shirts that
said "versatube" so I googled it and came up with a website
www.versatube.com If
you click on the link at the bottom of the versatube site under the "find a
dealer" it shows who sells these things. In my area I happen to have a "lowes"
home improvement center (Simular to a Home Depot) for those that are not
familiar. Large chain stores. I went in there this afternoon and asked the guy
behind the counter what a Versatube garage would cost me in a 30x32 and he said
it was $2915!!!!!! WOW!!!!! The first guy was making a huge markup I guess! I
should note also that the first guy wanted $699 to deliver it to my house. Lowes
said there was no shipping charges unless I wanted "Lowes" to bring it to my
house, that would be $55 more. Just thought I would thow this one out to those
interesetd in this type of storage facility. The expensive guy mentioned above
also sells these on ebay, here is a link to one of his auctions for comparison:
