I am helping a local EAA partnership put one of these up in RBG. It is an
80' X 80' and the receipt was for $47,500, delivered(I think we are getting
the door from someone else). It is going together like a big erector set,
and things fit very well. I have built pole barns before, and this is a piece
of cake.
