    it never ceases to amaze me how much less stringent building codes and requirements seem to be in other parts of the country.
    there's a solution to every problem.......you just have to be willing to find it.

      Gotta love the Government! I can build a 12 x 12 shed and all they want is a $20 zoning permit (I can deal with that). If I want to add 4ft to it and make it 12 x 16 they want their $20 zoning permit PLUS $93.00 for a building permit!
      I didn't even ask about electrical. He said they probably wouldn't even come and inspect it!!!!
      No wonder people do stuff without pulling permits!

        don't complain too loudly. here, it's $95 for the building permit and $10 for each $1000 of value. homeowners are not supposed to do any electrical or plumbing. you're supposed to call licensed guys for each, even for things as simple as changing out an outlet. the prefab 8x8 shed i erected required 1) a builidng, 2) architectural drawings and 3) a final inspection fee in order to get a CO. i've often noted that you can't f*rt around here without a building permit.
