Hello everyone. I'm an occasional visitor (drive-by drooling and waiting for 'the' day) and figured it was time to join. I moved from a small house with 2.5 car garage on 1/3 acre in IL to a larger house with only a small 2 car garage on 5 acres in Ohio. Part of the deal I struck with my wife was that if she got 'her' house, I had to get MY outbuilding. Well, it's about time to get started on making good. I had a local builder out today who does a lot of work for the owner of the company that I work for and we looked over a few sites that I had picked out and hashed over some of the basic details...I just have to contact the county health dept. to get the plot of my septic system to see if I can use the spot that I picked out that's close to the house (cheaper electric, less driveway to add, don't need to build a shed too).
Planning to go 30x40x16 with a 12x14 overhead door and service door on the front and an 8x8 overhead near the back of the side that faces the house (I'll use that section as the 'shed' for my lawn & garden tractors, etc and put a loft over top of that area). I'm going tall so that I have clearance for a lift with my tall Jeeps and can back my trailer in with a Jeep loaded, plus have room for a loft.
