I'd love to see pics of everyone's set up, and I'm curious what kind of money I'm looking at spending. I've had a hard time finding custom prices on the web.

I have a 30 X 48 all metal shop that I bought as a do it yourself kit... it would have been around 11 grand except that I changed a few things - pitch of the roof went to 6/12 -- I wanted clear span -- bigger doors -- and three electric skylights (at a grand piece) -- so the building wound up being just a little over 20 grand delivered. Cheap IMHO. I've since torn the standing seam metal roof off and did it to match my house.
The SLAB cost about 10 grand if I remember correctly because it has to be some kind of special "edge" foundation -- and it was done in fiber reinforced concrete -- super flat and super smooth -- with stainless steel expansion joints.
A buddy and I put the building up. I then had it professionally insulated with high density batting... and I put up 5/8" CDX plywood on the walls (to hang stuff off of!).
All told -- the BUILDING without electric or plumbing -- just the slab - building - insulation - and interior walls --- was about 50 grand. Electricity is a separate 400 amp panel with separate service (from the house) and I wired it myself. There is NO water or plumbing (toilets etc).
