Well, you go into Lowe's and price a 2x4 at $2.50 and think 'that isn't bad', but you need 50 or more of those... plus plywood at $30 a sheet and you need 50 for the roof and more to sheath the sides - that is $3,000 to $4,000 in plywood alone, then trusses at $50 a truss, the $ to rent equipment to set them, the cost of siding, shingles, tar paper, gun nails..... and we haven't even touched on the concrete for the footings and the floor.
