Looking at these 2 barn styles for the wife's new horse barn. (still looking at ideas but these are basic styles) All of these will be complete DIY projects --- concrete for aisle and 18" stall edging only. Pole barn construction -- probably go with galvanized roofing in lieu of finished shingles.
I need some rough ideas for the honest framing costs minus the stall hardware/doors etc (these will be donated from friend of ours who has saved 6 extra sets from 36 stall barn he just built last year. He ordered 50 sets of complete stall doors because he got a great deal on the whole lot) I am looking for mainly the costs associated with framing etc.
#1. Large barn with RCA : Floor Space: 1,296 Sq. Ft.
Loft Space: 576 Sq Ft with beautiful monitor roof and fancy cupola --- SJ Look at me!

#2. Smaller barn with no RCA and no loft. Floor Space: 864 Sq. Ft.
Sheltered Area: 324 Sq. Ft.
Ridge Height - 17'

Thanks for any/all insight and input.
PS - Any input on level of difficult 1-10 on each design to build/construct would be helpful too. Thanks!
