    Carport Addition Questions

    Thanks for the advice. I have asked about it a little. The fact that it is detached and not within 50ft of the house makes it non taxable. The same reason they were unable to tax me on the garage - or so I'm being told.

    Storage Unit Build Help...

    After looking, I'm thinking one side 8'x8' and the other 8'x12' instead of 10'. I also did some claculations on costs. It seems that I would be able to pour a slab and build on there for roughly the same cost as the wood frame and floor. Reasoning is I can get the slab and a carport poured the...

The Garage also WON'T be getting redone until after the carport and storage shed. So I need some help with the carport first. I'm looking at building a storage shed, and...
