Did the tape measure routine of course.

20' off of any property line would put the shed in my bedroom.

I wanted to build one of those sheds with a loft. But, my house is a single story rancher. Local code puts the kibosh on any stucture taller than the house.

Luckily I still have the markers in place for the boundaries, or would of been out that expense too!

The 20' offset was so they could drive a fire tuck back there if need be? Good luck I told them, due to the 100 acre swamp that starts back there. I could put up a 8' wood privacy fence right on the line without a problem.
They did not like it to much but relented when that fact was brought up. The subdued chuckles from the crowd might of help my side some also!

I used to work with plastics engineers from GE, Beyer and Wellman when I worked in the automotive industry. What that guy told you is very true. But, it's not just plastics, it's everything. Why do you think cars are all similarly priced, no matter who made it, or where it was made? Lowballers learn to play along or get run out of town in that industry. It's just the real ways of the world, I'm afraid.

We ARE great, ain't we? lol.

BAM!

Is it possible to shape a shed like a middle finger? I need to build a garage, I thought 24 x 32 (I have a 1000 sf slab ranch), but the city says, 600 sf max. So I thought, a gambriel two story, but the city says 16 ft to the peak in my development.

Also, shed can't be bigger than 8 x 10, but you can have multiples? Can have multiple garages too. Idiots methinks.
