Ugh ... my work computer locked me out of my own thread with an error message about not allowing access to websites that allow playing games ... wtf?!?
So I posted these quick from my phone, no internet at home. But you get the idea. 1/2 inch plywood sheeting with galvanized sheet metal roof and walls. All the dark grey trim was found in menards scratch and dent metal pile. I think it was $0.50 per foot. I saved around $200 there. The plywood was similarly $5 per sheet instead of $15 because they had dropped a pallet and damaged the corners of most of them. So all done with the gravel and everything I am at approx $800.
And aesthetically I was pretty happy with it until my wife saw it. Her first comment ... why did you build a manger? I don't have a good answer, other than its what I felt like at the time and it was the most efficient use of the length of plywood and metal I had for the roof. But perhaps next time I will sketch something to see if she has a better idea first.

That's when you should say " When you get out here and help build then you can have a vote in how it gets done"......on the inside....
I think it looks fantastic.
