Does anyone know a good hurricane building best practice web site?

Thanks, I am running windows, I will try it today.

Thanks, the shop will be overbuilt by most standards. I have sketched out my shop but i was planning on using cad also, I will try the program you recommended.

:bounce:I am going to start a 28' x 48' garage in a couple of weeks. I plan on posting my progess on GJ. Does anyone have a checklist they used while building? I plan on subbing out the framing but I will do most of the rest. Included in my build will be a bathroom in the shop. I was hoping...

I am about to start a 28x48 garage. The garage will be divided into 2 sections 28wx30l and 28wx18l(wifes side). I am going with a gable 8/12 pitch roof to match the house. I figured the slab with footers and labor will run around 6K. I received the first take off from my plans which included...

Thanks for the ideas gentlemen. I am definitely going to round up the hood for a discussion. This is probably naive, but maybe if we show a united stance our new neighbor may want to make a change. One post said deed restrictions violations would be a civil action between the seller and...

The original developer still has a tract of land which I believe will be phase 3 at some point. I have to assume he still has a vested interest in seeing the development stay kept up. I guess our best bet would be to hold a neighborhood meeting with the developer(if he cares) to start a plan...

I live in a newer middleclass subdivision, the average home size is 2200sf and all the homes are custom built. The neighborhood has basic covenants which include minimum house size, restrictions for temporary buildings etc... I have read horror stories about some home owner associations and...
