Just got back from area plan and the building commision. Successful on the zoneing permit
, the deconstruction permit was another story. When i went in to the building commision office, i found out that the gov't now wants you to jump through hoops to tear down a shoddily built garage, that they approved in the first place.
First step: Bring in a picture of the stucture you wish to tear down.
2nd step: place an intent for demolition notice in front of the build for 1 week.
3rd step: wait 7-10 days for the historical preservation people to say...duh, tear it down.
So that was a little hick-up in the road, but in a couple weeks we should be starting the tear down.
My father and i plan to build the new garage and tear the old one down. The only concern we've got right now is figuring out a way to get the old uni-pour footings/slab torn out without destroying my ashphalt driveway. Should be interesting.
The only work we will sub out on the new shop is the slab pour/ ashphault apron.
Heres what im starting with...22x44 P.O.S. it looks like it was made by one of those local garage builder companies 25 years ago. No overhangs, sagging homade 2x4 trusses, heaving concrete, steep approach, rotting siding..etc:
Here's what will be replacing it:
30x56 shop with footings, foundation and 2x6 walls. 12' height far right stall, 10' height throughout the rest. Attic storage trusses. We are going to sink the elevation down, so the the approach has about a 6" fall over 10'.
(1) 10x10, (2) 8x10, (1) 9x7 doors. Here are the plans, let me know what you think...
