I think that was one of the most important milestones I ever passed in my life: giving up the attitude that it was more important to know the answer than to at least understand the question. And that applies to everything. So, all we can agree on is that we have two very distinct groups of people here. btw, I shall get two firm bids today, and both from established companies that I provided the exact information to. I'll post the bids and we'll see who came closest. Steve |

Yes, and I appreciate that, being a dumb assed question asker. But, the response does weigh heavily as to whether I do much business or conversation with the other person or their company. I get testy at times, like everyone else. But it's nice not to be slapped when asking a dumb question. I have asked a bunch, and think that it only bothers the people who know everything there is to know, and are bothered by us people who don't. Thanks again. Steve |

Good luck, I went through this a couple of years ago, when I considered
installing a steel Quonset building. I really wanted to compare products and prices over the net, but found it was difficult to get anywhere near accurate pricing via the automatic estimators and every company I contacted came off like shysters. They all have "special deals" on units from cancellations and all manner of hustle tactics. It just seemed so seedy I gave up "Steve B" wrote in message ... 30 x 50 x 16 ft. metal building, on slab.

I'd like to make a suggestion.
Next time you put out a question, make it a real one. With details. The steel can be as thick as you want, price will as well. Those windows and doors can be anything, including the big ones. Gonna put it on a foundation? Where? Insulated could mean the skimpy pink foam that gets used under vinyl siding. If all you look for is the total enclosed volume, the estimate will either be quite low, or some companies won't even want to deal with you because they know you haven't thought it through enough to be getting functional bids. Just my opinion, worth what you paid. On Mar 28, 7:03 pm, "Steve B" wrote: "RBM" rbm2(remove wrote in message ...
