RLW, I built my shed in 2009 right after we moved into our new house. I like to keep my garage clutter free.

I used a 20% off coupon at Lowes for the wood. My builder got me his wholesale pricing for the shingles and vinyl siding/trim so they would match the house. Bought the windows, shutters, and door hardware online. For about a week it seemed like there was a delivery being made in preparation for building it. I did it for almost exactly $2500 +/- $100. I'd have to add up the receipts again. I originally was going with a 12x14 but the odd size just made sense to add on the two feet.

Used my BIL's nail guns and I had all the rest of the tools, ladders, sawhorses, etc. Took three days (sun up to past sundown) and I got/get a lot of compliments on it. I priced out having one delivered of the same size and quality and it was easily double the price I spent building it.
