$36,700 including insulation. I'm doing the electrical myself and anticipating getting power to the building, lighting and outlets done for around $3k.

Thanks guys! The metal was supplied by Hensens in Cresson, TX. The panels are Central States Mfg. Tom Brown Construction in Granbury built it and did an outstanding job!
