Re: [papercreters] Re: Do i need a permit?

I do CAD. What design do you have in mind? PC walls 1' thick with shed type sloped roof?
Around here it is "less than 200 sq. ft." for no permit. Your locale may vary, but 100 should be safe. 10x10 square building is easy to design. On skids, it should be OK just about anywhere.

I just watched 300, so maybe my wording was a bit strong.  More like  an ambush is what I am planning.  Go through the hooops of obtaining  a permit.  Finding a suitable design.  Then proceed to build, killing  the inspector with kindness.  Providing information to turn the tide  of objections I am likely to encounter.  I just think a project would  be eye-opening for both parties.  Once we got a few locals turned  this direction, maybe it would gain momentunm.  Anyone have a 100 sq ft design for a shed handy? Who was the CAD artist on this group?  --- In papercreters@yahoogroups.com, "slurryguy" <slurryguy@...>  wrote:   

The shed, depending upon the design and size, very likely does not  require a permit.  The IBC has been written to allow small  lawn/garden type structures.    I don't have the specific code in front of me and am typing from  memory.  I THINK if the structure is under 100sqft, has no      

plumbing,    

and has no electrical that you can build it, no questions asked.  This is one reason why this type of structure is the PERFECT place      

to    

start.  You can build it quickly and relatively easily.  It also  gives you a test structure to get all the bugs worked out.  This  structure also gives you something to show inspectors and other  officials.  Once they see something working, they'll be much more  likely to understand and approve what you are proposing for your  house and other areas of your property.  Keep in mind that most local communities write their own specialty  codes in addition to the IBC.  If your local community has put  special local restrictions on these small structures, you'll need      

to    

heed them.  They may require the small structure to be placed in a  certain way on your property, or look a certain way.    --- In papercreters@yahoogroups.com, "lefamaster" <chris@> wrote:     

I am tiptoeing through a field of eggs it would seem.  I have        

plans    

for the following. 1)a shed. 2)a porch cover. 3)a deck. 4) Insullation by fibrous adobe in my walls and possibly cieling.  It occurs to me that it might be educational to pit myself in the  very middle of a code battle, for the enlightment of the        

experience.      

I know we have a few members going throught a few skirmishes of        

sorts      

with their own local officials.  Haven't heard any updates from  thoose arenas yet.  Maybe I should attempt to build something with the exact premise        

of    

encountering a code issue, then take it from there?  I was going to post this on the Building Code site, but I am  desperately seeking a topic to set fire to this issue. So I bring        

you      

this.  I am prepared to psuedo-battle my local officials in an attempt        

to    

figure this all out, in the name of learning.
