    Man, I'm going through the same thing here, although my building is up already. Just got a Foam quote for my 30x50x14 Moton building...$5000. With all the prep work for fibreglass(seams,joints etc...), I figure the foam isn't too much more. I have ridge vents and was told by foam man that they...

    hooking up lights-need opinion

    help with framing for walls

    Let me qualify this post by saying I know nothing about construction methods. I need some help with preping the inside of my post frame 30X50 for wall sheathing.

    $50,000 Budget – Start a garage

    Yes it is a Morton. If I was able to put it up myself I probably would have gone a diff direction. Their crew was a pleasure to deal with. If you have to pay someone to put your building up for you, Morton is hard to beat. Long time coming: http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=183079
