Thanks for the heads up on that,seems like a good deal ,but I think I'll try someone more regional anyway. Seems like you had a really bad experience with uncle howard.

http://www.unclehowards.comHas anyone on here heard of Uncle Howards barns? Or pennypincher barns? He advertises an $11 sq.ft price for his barn kits and pennypincher is $8 a sq. ft.,I'm planning on building a gambrel barnhouse and garage. He's based out of wash...
