1994 - Built a detached 3-car garage 28 x 36 Ft......
Hired some local firemen to build forms and pour the concrete.......Framed the walls myself, with siding and windows installed before stand-up. Had 3 friends to help stand the walls and 2 the next day to help set trusses......Took about 2 weeks of evenings and weekends. Cost about $7,500 back then......Did not do insulation, drywall or heat. I did wire for lights and outlets........This was just vehicle storage when the hoarding started getting out of control.
Advice:
1) If you avoid getting a building permit, you will suffer a big drama when you sell the place.
2) Plywood sheeting between the trusses provides a lot of overhead storage space.
3) Can save a lot with used doors/windows off Craigslist.....
4) Don't trust a friendly neighbor in regards to the property line and required "setback"
