I bought a 24x40x10 steel garage kit from 84 lumber in '95 for around 
$4400 without doors or concrete and put it up myself in February in 
central Ohio. I'd never built a garage before and to do it in winter was 
a bitch! Next time I built a 24x30x8 stick-built myslef in fall and that 
was a breeze, cost about 7k with concrete. Now I have a 32x48x10 steel 
garage that the Amish built about 7 years ago for 11k without concrete. 
These are just FYI for prices in central Ohio and may not apply in your 
area. Also, I built the first 2 myself, if you have the skills do it 
yourself, it's not that hard, just takes time. I try to do everything 
myself because I refuse to pay exorbitant prices for anything! When it 
rains hard it's pretty loud in a steel garage. I prefer stick-built, but 
my current garage was already present when we bought the house. If you 
have the room and money to go bigger, DO IT! No matter how much room you 
have when it's new, if you're a typical gearhead (packrat), you'll 
outgrow it in short order. Can I get an AMEN guys???
