Having said that, when I offered this info it was from memory. I look all over for the invoice and found it this morning. Now for some corrections. First the shed is 10X14 not 10X16. The price for the shed was $2083.46 with a 10% surcharge of $208.35 and a delivery charge of $95.00. This is a little less than the $2400 I stated earlier.
The last time I was down there (about 3 months ago) the hours were limited to Saturday.
I will atemp to attached the invoice for the shed. If it does not work I will send it by email for anyone that is interested. Also, if you would like to see it, please send me an email.

I see the whole thing as win-win. State gets some money, prison return rate is much lower than average for these guys, and the public gets what appears to be a quality product at below market price.
So do they have scrap books of previous jobs or is every shed/gazebo a one-off that they have to price out (Ie, do they have a price sheet)?
