gunrunnerjohn posted:Greg Houser posted:My take away from your very first post was that the structure was pre-fabricated and looked like the picture you posted but your recent post states in part "building costs of ~ $40k".Have you received any estimates yet? I ask as that estimate seems a little high based on pricing where I live (outside of Philadelphia, Pa) and you may be able to afford an alcove which extends to one side where you can put in a bathroom and a small kitchen area (say refrigerator, sink, microwave, etc). Many of the local shed-builders in my area will customize their existing designs (including adding insulation, electric and plumbing).
I think if you consider heating, cooling, and plumbing, the 40K starts to sound much more reasonable.
I should have been clearer - the 'she-shed' he had built included those elements and was 10x20.
I'm no expert on "she-shed's" and assumed they all came with that.....being ladies and all and we all know they always want to "accessorize" for maximum comfort...lol 
It's funny - my wife was teasing me if we didn't have to figure out how to pay for college for our son she'd be bugging me to get one built for her. Apparently in her mind my getting our "cold, dark, damp" unfinished basement for my layout equals her getting a "she-shed" for her use.
