[QUOTE="NorthernIowa, post: 813625, member: 16163"] I've done quite a bit of research around my area and the general consensus is to concrete the entire floor. From the sounds of it, it's not worth the savings to skimp out on concrete floors. When the frost comes out come Spring it becomes a disaster if you just have dirt, sand, lime, etc. Walls also need to be concrete, but the height of them is negotiable. As long as you have a "curb" to scrape to/from, you can get by with 2x12's, guard rails, or similar to build your walls higher. I'd like to hear some total costs/head to build, if anyone is willing to share that much information? [/QUOTE]
