Depends on when and where. My folks live in Portland. We'll be up there around Memorial day to go to camp which is in Caribou.
If you're in southern Maine I'd consider making a special trip. What'd bring you up this way? You driving up? If you are you pretty much have to go through MA to get there, the grill here is very rarely cold for very long. -Curt Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2007 14:28:51 -0500 From: "Kaleb C.

In some (non-freezing) locales, you can pour a slab and bolt your building to the top of it. In other places, you need to place footings below the frost line to support your garage. In my part of Michigan, the footings have to be at least 42" below grade level. A pole barn with a 30' span requires 18" diameter by at least 8" thick concrete footings. The quick way is to auger some 18" holes in the ground, call for the concrete truck to pour the footings, and then start standing the poles on the footings. There are builders who will erect a 30x40x8' pole building (wood frame, steel siding and roof) for about $7,000, not counting floor, wiring, insulation, or plumbing. Shingle roof and vinyl siding tends to be a slight cost increase, those materials are cheaper than steel, but take more labor to install. I'm still in the planning phase on a 30x56x12' with living quarters and space for about 6 cars. Thinking about either going to 10' to save some money (have to use a floor plate car lift and not run it up all the way) or going 16' tall so have attic storage above the apartment. I'm looking to pay about 11-12k for materials, and put considerable time into building it. IIRC, you have physical limitations and would be hiring the installation of whatever you buy. The good steel buildings (framework like a factory building) cost 1.5-2x as much as wood frames for the materials, but assemble quicker, and the installed price difference isn't that bad. Olympia makes some garage size buildings, but the cost tends to get high if you need a steep roof slope for local winter conditions. Mitch.
