Should I buy a Pre-Cut Kit or Fully Assembled Building?

What is a Complete Shell and What Comes With It?

Hardware, millwork sheathing and DIY plans have been enclosed. Each piece is color coded and part numbered. The exact itemization of what is inserted can be found on the specifications tab of the website for each product page design.
What is the difference between a 3-Season and 4-Season Insulation package?
