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.

lawn psycho, you did very well for that size shed. All my materials were figured on the company discounts. Believe it or not I got the 10x16 from Reeds Ferry with all my own selections of shingles, siding, windows, shutters and ramp and oh ya a nice weather vane for less than 3,200 and I didn't have all the aggravation and mess to pickup every night and after the job as it was installed in less than 1 hour and 15 minutes and they were driving out of the driveway. I have received several e-mails from them asking if I was happy with the shed and the installation. They are a followup company which you do not find very often nowadays. All in all we both did very well and you have the pleasure to tell everyone
that you bulit it. All I can say is
I paid for it.
with it and may it stay dry for many a year.
