We are in the construction-worker business and in no way could we build that shed for that cost today even without labor and we would be using all the labor saving tools also. The materials alone would cost that price even at a discount store like Home Depot or Lowe's. I purchased my shed from Reeds Ferry and glad I let them build and set it up as I could not do it for their price. I purchased it when they had their 10% off on all sheds and accessories. I'm real clap with the whole ding-dong job.
