I always wear work boots out, Heck i spend 12 hr days 6 days a week, They are broke in. As far as a bike goes! anything on two wheels is better than anything on 4 wheels.
Make sure you get a property survey sometimes people don't put their fence in the correct location, it could be 3-4 feet onto their property or it could be on your property
I put up a 24X30 metal building slab and all for $6.100.00 bucks all in with no permits for crap. I live in Alabama I moved here from Florida and when I asked the building if he was pulling permits or was l he looked at me like I was speak chinese and said permit for what. Coming here was a good move.
Don’t rip up your old slab you can always put a lean too on the side of your new shed so you can store all the stuff you don’t want in your work shop / shed
I thought that also Tim, if he has to move over that far he could keep part of the old slab for whatever,, maybe an air conditioner compressor..? Bent fenders, old handlebars, etc.
Good to plan well and slowly the new place for the garage, thinking about the best way to build it. Seeing you riding the old Evo is always nice. Cheers.
My faith in you, stems from your commitment to restore things correctly, I hope that you have been able to bring the 94 soft tail back to its former glory before the tree collapsed the building, I've grown quite fond of that bike from watching your videos, I would love to own it, but I'm out of work due to health reasons, so I can't afford to buy it "(
You’re gonna have your self a nice setup Drummer,, looks like it’s gonna be about the same size shop Troy the fabricator has.👍🏻 Oh yeah,, super nice! Be patient, and you be good to yourself also brother. Blessings your way!!🧷 Merry Christmas to you and the Ms, and I hope y’all have a Very Blessed New Year comin!
Rent a concrete saw, cut off 8 feet off side. Leave the rest for a patio, build a carport on top for cheap. I don't think you need a permit for that. Or just use it to park on.
It's a pain to deal with. But there is a very good third reason; insurance. If that building was out of compliance at this point and something happened, your homeowners insurance wouldn't have to cover it. So better to do it right and build the best shop you can and made sure you are covered if anything goes sideways again.
Always a good time when you are behind the right set of bars.. glad you are keeping us posted on your progress with the new and improved garage or shop.. when it gets a little warmer up here in Illinois I definitely want to ride down there and see that beautiful scenery. I've got a 07 street glide and a 08 softail deluxe.. I'm thinking about trading my deluxe for a evo heritage because I love the sound of them.
That's cool with your new shop coming into place. I wanted to let you know that in the garage that I use has those spacers on the floor that helps keep the concrete was cracking supposedly but they still crack and that those spacers make it difficult to move stuff around like engine pullers and carts and hydraulic lifts etc.... So, if it can not have any spacers in the cement floor you would probably like it a lot better.
Gotta love how old stuff is "grandfathered in" but when you want to redo it now here comes the government bureaucracy! Best of luck and patience is key for sanity . . .
Always hoops to jump through - my parents bought their house with a set of stairs to their back door - bought it in 2010 like that. 2018 comes around, they go to sell it - had to tear down and rebuild the steps because they weren’t to code - but it was fine when they bought it - or no one said anything anyway. Good luck, excited to see the finished product!
Thats awesome brother, you ride what you own and you love it....thats what dig about you and your channel....good luck with the new garage plans man...cant wait to see !
I've really enjoyed watching all thats transpired in the last little while on ur channel. I hate u had it happen to ya but its been really educational to see how it's gone now that it happened. Love ur channel and LOVE that Evo!
Request a variance on the setback. It will most likely be approved if a neighbor doesn’t care if you rebuild in the same spot. However, it will be another process you’ll have to go through, but start the process while you’re making all the other plans.
I dont know the layout of your property but have you considered placing the new garage over where the bin/car is in the video (towards the road?) and turning the old pad into a bbq area using recycled bricks and a roof type structure? I nice place for chillin with family and friends and dosnt cramp the house too much as it looks like the new garage is gonna be real close to your house. Good luck with your council office.
I would install a couple windows on the north side and run a work bench under them. Since you are in the South, you could open the windows in the summer and have a little cooler air. Also, diffuse lighting will always come through the north windows. Just a thought. Take care.
You can never go too big on a garage or carport. We built ours twice the size we planned for. Luckily it was no problem, as somehow that area was on agricultural area...so you can basically build a barn on it, if you like. It seemed gigantic at the time it was up...3 years later, all of the space is occupied. I wish you all the best with your legal authorities and that you can build what you want/need.
If I've learned only one thing in my 42 years of life, it's that government gets in the way of everything. Good luck on the build. My old garage was 30x24 and it was almost perfect. Almost because I had a work bench in the front and it kept me from being able to get 2 cars deep in there for hail storms lol.
Still looking forward to seeing new workshop will be worth the wait was great to see you out on your bike and what's a few battle scar eh . me and my daily ride got plenty 😎😎😎looking forward to next video all best big Dave
That's so messed up. We live on the gulf coast, we stay and never leave but when we have to rebuild we have to jump through hoops. Hope you get it all worked out soon. Be safe bro 👊✌️👍
Hope you get it taken care of quickly. I'm having a concrete slab poured at my house soon as well to have a shed/carport combo erected on. It's going to be the beginning of the year before it's finished. Also...glad you got out for a ride.
I'd never be ashamed of a dent especially if it wasn't my fault. I've been riding a beat up, rusty 1988 883 Hugger. It looks like hell, total apocalypse death trap vibe, but it's fun.
Oh good tree is coming out. I was just gonna say after the recent experience might want to pull all nearby trees out haha. Should be awesome my man! One idea, what about having the old slab in the middle of the new foot print and poor around it. That way the new structure is supported by all new slab and you just use the existing to save money. Oh they had to cry about distances of it as if it matters to anyone in any way shape or form. Sigh getting permits is such a royal pain in the ass.
●Suggest you dig down below grade at the floor (outside edge) to install ultilties such as a water pipe, natural gas pipe, sewer pipe or any other piping for the future. Same with a square filled with gravel for a future toilet or install flange before pouring the floor. Easier to do now than cut concrete later. Also floor drains. Last is a two post lift..make sure the footing area will be thick enough... Awesome video!!
Hey nothing wrong with showing the "battle scars".... ride it Brother!! Best of luck on the rebuild and it sux that ya gotta move / re locate the building!!
Not sure it worth looking into for you but you might want to find the markers and make sure the fence is on the line, I worked for Land Surveying company for 7 yrs and fences in the country are rarely right on the line, especially if they place was not surveyed...and the line marked before fence was built. Might allow you to use the slab and not have to move closer to the house... Good luck my friend.
Catching up on your videos but have a suggestion for the new shop. Get a hold of the local building inspector and ask him to stop by. More often than not there are two different rules. One set is official, the other is practical. Usually the inspector will favor the real world solution and explain how to deal with the permitting office. In any case it's always better to get to know the inspector in case you run into an unforeseen problem.
24x30 is perfect size for me. But I don’t have all the projects do, I only do routine stuff on my motorcycles. I went with a wood frame metal building but if I was younger a metal fame would be better.. enjoy your videos and your testimony.
The life of a Believer is totally dependant on how much control we're able to let go of. I've been on this journey for 50+ years and it's been crazy at times but my Father has never quit on me. Prov 3 has been one of many beams of support for all these years and I need that stability now more than ever.....................
Kudos to you for following protocol with City Hall. The building vendor should have the ways/means for getting the job done correctly, after all, that's what they're supposed to do....if not, find another vendor that wants your money. Good point regarding STS, but the reality is, Evo=Bulletproof. Ride that Motor, wear your war wounds Proud!
You may be able to apply for a variance if you get permission from the neighbor to build that close to the line. I'm not 100% sure on that but I've heard about it from others before. May be worth asking about at least.
One man's unusable slab is another man's bar-b-quing and out door hanging out place. Put a metal awning over it, and you could watch thunderstorms roll in as you film, or drink beer and watch the sky.
Don't worry about anything ! Its a strange time, nobody was 🤕 hurt there's better days ahead y'all have a merry Christmas it's the county's job to make things harder than they should be! A. Holes🎄
Good luck on the building project . I'm looking for a bike but on a tight budget. Got a lead on a 96 flh been sitting for long timein a garag asking 3000 . Gona check it out . And the numbers are definitely falsely pumped up.
Go for a post frame building the only inspection is the depth of the hole for each post and the fact that there is cement at the base of the hole. I think they have to be down 36 inches at least here in Indiana that’s how I did my 24 x 36 building 6 feet and it’s called an easement here in Indiana between properties however my house is 2 feet from the neighbors property line at some point it’s grandfathered that’s what I’ve always understood
Hey Corey, sorry to hear about your setback. I sent you a small donation and was wondering if it got there alright. Glad to see you are well. God bless.
In my 20s, got my first big inch. Total rat, but got down the road. One of the tank halves developed a leak. Took it off & rode it like that while I fixed it. Didn't give a dang what others thought cause I was riding. Good times don't just happen, they're made!
I can imagine the guys down at the zoning office are watching your video and laughing, telling each other "can you believe he fell for the old 15 feet trick".
Tramp, you've got the right attitude, I've built many things before and sometimes didn't bother to tell them I was but when it's something large and complex like that, it's worth messing with all the permit stuff as they could come in when you're half built and slap a "stop work" on you and then it's a big hassle. Also, if using an electrician, he won't be allowed to hook it up to the power if there wasn't a permit. It's all in God's hands and God's timing. Patience pays off. God bless you and it'll be wonderful when it's done. LOL Just sometimes it's like waiting for Christmas.
good on you making sure if you was in code or not. on the non compliant another term used is "Grandfathered in" . i think it would have been better to redo the foundation too. a good thing about having to move it is you could move it to a different spot on your land now since you have to move it any way. 30' x 24' 720 sq ft thats pretty good i forgot the old building size. just think more room for more tools lol. and bikes. 👍. i think Josh is spreading a "buy motorcycles and sell none" virus lol. good vid man ride safe.
Yeah better off to do it legal to begin with brother, that way you won't have any problems down the road, and Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and yours Brother 🤶🎅🎄⛄💯
You can put a metal carport on the old slab after it’s all said and done.Don’t no the specs on your new shop but most red iron buildings have a turned down slab or piers where your columns set depending on what you bought.good luck with the powers that be they like your money.lol
C.T. from WV because the codes have changed might think about moving your building line in to the 15 ft and using the exposed slab as a patio or bike parking code should not be effected by just the slab the slab just a thought good luck God bless
I’m old Carpenter, I’m just saying you’re get more out of the material if you would go 24 x 32, because your base siding comes in 4 x 8 sheets, 4 x 8 = 32, just saying
@@SaddleTrampTV Hey I don’t know your laws, but if you have good neighbors you should be able to get a variance and your neighbors would have to sign off on it, also you should be able come into the grandfather law, if you have that there, I also have few more ideals if you haven’t started this building, if you would like few more ideals, wish I was there to help you with this build, I have over 30 years of building post building experience, plus if you would count my dad to, then I would have over 70 years, use to have and run a company call Sunboy post building, until he retired and I got I better job working at AM General, they manufactured the Humvee, lost job when Obama was in office, now I’m disabled, but not died, ride just about every day when weather is nice here, I’m stuck here in Northern Indiana, yap snow country, hoping this spring I’m able to become a full time drifter. Hope you the best on your building, Jeff Howard
I built a 30x40x16 foot high steel span with no problems from town since steel span buildings are nut n bolt so not permanent as town rules say no permit needed . Check it out very strong buildings no big machines needed to build . Mine is 15 years old no rust and no leaks and can withstand feet of snow as I am upstate New York . good luck bro hope u look into it can save u a ton of money and can be built by you in a week you would only need to rent a lift machine
Hey SaddleTramp, If you can, after moving the building 8 feet in, make sure you leave the old slab so you have a nice place to store stuff outside the new building like the noisy air compressor, and metal stock. It's nice to have a floor under stuff that is stored outside with maybe a small lean 2 roof over it. Good luck with zoning - now there's a joke for ya..... Later
Ya gotta treat the county Gov like the old lady. Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. In Mn found out fine for settin off dynamite was cheaper than permits for a personal marina
Because of disputes, setbacks were established and the garage was, " Grandfathered in" and was fine until tore down. 15-25 feet setback is normal in the country areas of Mi. I've seen garages, movable sheds ordered moved or torn down here. Tax man, electrical inspector, neighbor, etc. can all cause you problems especially when selling property. Use the cement pad for small shed. The code inspector would check it out for your garage cause it could easily be poor quality or only 3" thick. I know it sucks, I hate inspectors with power trip attitudes but that's how it is today. Good luck.
I like what you said at 7:45. You should watch Brandon Tatum, Dr. Steve Turley, and Michael Knowles on RUclips. You should put a door on the side the slab that you can't build on that's big enough to get bike in and out of, so it will still be useful as solid place to park or work on your bikes in the natural light. You're right; that wasn't a wasted trip. It was just extra therapy. I'll be getting my bike back, soon, from a shop that's ran by some crooked people. When it's running, I'll be be able to resume my therapy sessions.
I've seen people's projects stopped cold because they built without permits. Then they have to pay more money to get 3rd party engineers to do a subsurface study and sign off on their slabs and foundations. Where I'm at you have to make sure the county or city inspector lays eyes on your subgrade, footings and rebar for the turn down slab and gives the ok to proceed.
Hi Tramp, it's mid-April and I'm looking at your other video's and not seeing a garage. I'm a designer residential on the other side of the country, houses, garages, additions and the like, so I know just how slow and intensely frustrating it can be. I have no idea how far along in the process you are so please ignore anything that I'm about to say that is of no help. I would not advise you to buy a building before you know that you can put it on the site. You don't need a full set of plans, but you do need a site plan that shows the property lines and the new building with dimensions, heights and setbacks. It can be hand drawn at the early stage, but you need something to take down to the county or city to pester the examiner with. Fences are not property lines, get a cheap survey or somehow find out for sure where the boundaries actually are because that makes a huge difference. Tax maps that show the lot dimensions are usually available on the internet and so are the county survey records which you can use to find something to measure and find the corners. A lot of times you can find a recent stake or old pin from a nearby lot and use that to start your search for your property line. A shovel or metal detector helps to find the buried old iron rods. I really can't emphasize how important it is to have a good idea of that line really is, but hey, some people like basing expensive time consuming projects on guesses, those guys love to move the building afterwords. These are painful lessons that I have learned. Nonconforming structures are all around us and they can frequently be rebuilt if you follow the applicable rules, it's all about the zoning code for your particular municipality, and the code is usually available on the internet these days. Usually the rules restrict rebuilding nonconforming structure to something close to the original footprint so unless that previous building was so awesome that you want to duplicate it, it's usually better to go ahead and build something that truly meets your needs. One last thing, make the space between the garage door and the sidewall of the garage big enough to fully open the car door and have an extra two plus feet for storage or workbenches, minimum 4.5' for decent functionality, but 6' is a lot better. Have patience, this construction thing is more of a marathon than we like to admit. Hank
They all want control and money. Make your life a little more harder ! Anyway love the video and keep riding. I don’t care if it isn’t perfect, rusty, missing parts. I like riding. “Rico” from Arizona 😎🌴🌵
That sucks Tramp, but you're a good man for trying to do things the right way.
Ordinary dudes can do extraordinary things. Positivity makes all things possible.
Riding the beat-up Softail is like going out in public in your favorite work boots. It's a sign of honor and nothing to be ashamed of.
Thanks, man
I always wear work boots out, Heck i spend 12 hr days 6 days a week, They are broke in. As far as a bike goes! anything on two wheels is better than anything on 4 wheels.
That intro music was so soothing, and reminded me of much simpler and happy times. Thank you SaddleTramp.
Thank YOU, Amigo.
Make sure you get a property survey sometimes people don't put their fence in the correct location, it could be 3-4 feet onto their property or it could be on your property
Seems that when you go the legal way it always takes longer. At least you got the ball rolling. I agree with you on the Mexican beer virus lol.
I put up a 24X30 metal building slab and all for $6.100.00 bucks all in with no permits for crap. I live in Alabama I moved here from Florida and when I asked the building if he was pulling permits or was l he looked at me like I was speak chinese and said permit for what. Coming here was a good move.
Never a waste of a trip when you can get out and ride.
Yeah...agreed....as I sit in my shop and whine about the 2 inches of ice still on the roads....
Don’t rip up your old slab you can always put a lean too on the side of your new shed so you can store all the stuff you don’t want in your work shop / shed
I thought that also Tim, if he has to move over that far he could keep part of the old slab for whatever,, maybe an air conditioner compressor..? Bent fenders, old handlebars, etc.
A bike builder and a garage builder. A man if many talents. Loved the footage and the musings while riding your old bike.
Ooh! Look at that ‘65 Plymouth Fury! 2 door! I had one of those as my first car! 😁👌
Well, good luck with Harrison county, what a pita.
Good to plan well and slowly the new place for the garage, thinking about the best way to build it. Seeing you riding the old Evo is always nice. Cheers.

You never waste anytime your in the wind!!!!
Your old bikes your so-called old bike looks beautiful sounds Good luck on your building I’ll be waiting for your next pod
You’re gonna have your self a nice setup Drummer,, looks like it’s gonna be about the same size shop Troy the fabricator has.👍🏻
Oh yeah,, super nice!
Be patient, and you be good to yourself also brother.
Blessings your way!!🧷

Wind therapy is always good. I feel some coming soon. I'll probably be in your neck of the woods soon.
Missed your show live sorry was watching the Charlie pride special you had good ride and a plan that’s all you need use old slab for parking and bbq
There's a thought

I agree I said the same thing. There is plenty room up front for a big garage. I would go as big as you can afford. You can never have to much shop.
That's an idea
I would install a couple windows on the north side and run a work bench under them. Since you are in the South, you could open the windows in the summer and have a little cooler air. Also, diffuse lighting will always come through the north windows. Just a thought. Take care.
EXACTLY what Blackf350 said!!! Great video! Thank you for not throwing it away!!!
Thanks for watching
Peace Brother. Have a Merry Christmas and "Stay Positive"... No Mexican beer... lol G
You can never go too big on a garage or carport. We built ours twice the size we planned for.

Thanks for sharing.
Always build in increments of 4.And better to ask forgiveness than permission.God bless you and keep the faith.
Not in this case when they have the authority to make you demolition what they don't like.

Build an underground bike bunker.
You may be able to apply for a variance if you get permission from the neighbor to build that close to the line. I'm not 100% sure on that but I've heard about it from others before. May be worth asking about at least.
Don't hide your shame my friend LOL ... Ride that Softail .. I love my '95 Fatty Boy even with all it's quirks and dings :)

Go 26' wide . A garage is never big enough. My garage is 24' x 28'. You will thank me .
Don't worry about anything ! Its a strange time, nobody was 🤕 hurt there's better days ahead y'all have a merry Christmas it's the county's job to make things harder than they should be! A. Holes🎄
Good luck on the building project . I'm looking for a bike but on a tight budget. Got a lead on a 96 flh been sitting for long timein a garag asking 3000 . Gona check it out . And the numbers are definitely falsely pumped up.
Go for a post frame building the only inspection is the depth of the hole for each post and the fact that there is cement at the base of the hole. I think they have to be down 36 inches at least here in Indiana that’s how I did my 24 x 36 building
6 feet and it’s called an easement here in Indiana between properties however my house is 2 feet from the neighbors property line at some point it’s grandfathered that’s what I’ve always understood
Hey Corey, sorry to hear about your setback. I sent you a small donation and was wondering if it got there alright. Glad to see you are well. God bless.
Yes. Thank you. I'm looking for your envelope so I can send a card.
In my 20s, got my first big inch. Total rat, but got down the road. One of the tank halves developed a leak. Took it off & rode it like that while I fixed it. Didn't give a dang what others thought cause I was riding. Good times don't just happen, they're made!
Right on, Man
I can imagine the guys down at the zoning office are watching your video and laughing, telling each other "can you believe he fell for the old 15 feet trick".
Probably so
Tramp, you've got the right attitude, I've built many things before and sometimes didn't bother to tell them I was but when it's something large and complex like that, it's worth messing with all the permit stuff as they could come in when you're half built and slap a "stop work" on you and then it's a big hassle. Also, if using an electrician, he won't be allowed to hook it up to the power if there wasn't a permit. It's all in God's hands and God's timing. Patience pays off. God bless you and it'll be wonderful when it's done. LOL Just sometimes it's like waiting for Christmas.
good on you making sure if you was in code or not. on the non compliant another term used is "Grandfathered in" . i think it would have been better to redo the foundation too. a good thing about having to move it is you could move it to a different spot on your land now since you have to move it any way. 30' x 24' 720 sq ft thats pretty good i forgot the old building size. just think more room for more tools lol. and bikes. 👍. i think Josh is spreading a "buy motorcycles and sell none" virus lol. good vid man ride safe.
Yeah better off to do it legal to begin with brother, that way you won't have any problems down the road, and Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and yours Brother 🤶🎅🎄⛄💯
You got that right. Same to you, Ozark.
🤣👍Wind Therapy lol. That's a new one for me... love it🤙🏴☠️
Ask zoning department for a "special permit" for setback of building..
Another hoop to jump through.
But they should give it to you.
Your "opinion" is fact! As far as the bikes go, just ride them! Dents add character. Good luck on the "new" garage!
You can put a metal carport on the old slab after it’s all said and done.Don’t no the specs on your new shop but most red iron buildings have a turned down slab or piers where your columns set depending on what you bought.good luck with the powers that be they like your money.lol
30x 40 building with pallet rack like home depot uses is perfect
Use the 3-4-5 square corner method simple and easy to square it up
If your neighbor gives you permission in Kansas it’s cool but the law is different from one town to the other
C.T. from WV because the codes have changed might think about moving your building line in to the 15 ft and using the exposed slab as a patio or bike parking code should not be effected by just the slab the slab just a thought good luck God bless
That's kinda the plan
I’m old Carpenter, I’m just saying you’re get more out of the material if you would go 24 x 32, because your base siding comes in 4 x 8 sheets, 4 x 8 = 32, just saying
Good point. Thanks
@@SaddleTrampTV Hey I don’t know your laws, but if you have good neighbors you should be able to get a variance and your neighbors would have to sign off on it, also you should be able come into the grandfather law, if you have that there, I also have few more ideals if you haven’t started this building, if you would like few more ideals, wish I was there to help you with this build, I have over 30 years of building post building experience, plus if you would count my dad to, then I would have over 70 years, use to have and run a company call Sunboy post building, until he retired and I got I better job working at AM General, they manufactured the Humvee, lost job when Obama was in office, now I’m disabled, but not died, ride just about every day when weather is nice here, I’m stuck here in Northern Indiana, yap snow country, hoping this spring I’m able to become a full time drifter. Hope you the best on your building, Jeff Howard
I built a 30x40x16 foot high steel span with no problems from town since steel span buildings are nut n bolt so not permanent as town rules say no permit needed . Check it out very strong buildings no big machines needed to build . Mine is 15 years old no rust and no leaks and can withstand feet of snow as I am upstate New York . good luck bro hope u look into it can save u a ton of money and can be built by you in a week you would only need to rent a lift machine
prayin for ya my brother
Thank you, Frank
Hey SaddleTramp, If you can, after moving the building 8 feet in, make sure you leave the old slab so you have a nice place to store stuff outside the new building like the noisy air compressor, and metal stock. It's nice to have a floor under stuff that is stored outside with maybe a small lean 2 roof over it. Good luck with zoning - now there's a joke for ya..... Later
That's a good idea
What does your insurance company say about various ways of building and rates for coverage.
Ya gotta treat the county Gov like the old lady. Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. In Mn found out fine for settin off dynamite was cheaper than permits for a personal marina
Slow and official are 2 words i hate, but you gotta do it right or do it twice mate. Looking for to seeing the outcome. Merry Christmas buddy. ✌️
Same to you, bro. Thanks
Because of disputes, setbacks were established and the garage was, " Grandfathered in" and was fine until tore down. 15-25 feet setback is normal in the country areas of Mi. I've seen garages, movable sheds ordered moved or torn down here. Tax man, electrical inspector, neighbor, etc. can all cause you problems especially when selling property. Use the cement pad for small shed. The code inspector would check it out for your garage cause it could easily be poor quality or only 3" thick. I know it sucks, I hate inspectors with power trip attitudes but that's how it is today. Good luck.
Why dont you move the garage towards the road so you can build as big as you want?
That might happen
I like what you said at 7:45.
You should watch Brandon Tatum, Dr. Steve Turley, and Michael Knowles on RUclips.
You should put a door on the side the slab that you can't build on that's big enough to get bike in and out of, so it will still be useful as solid place to park or work on your bikes in the natural light.
You're right; that wasn't a wasted trip. It was just extra therapy.
I'll be getting my bike back, soon, from a shop that's ran by some crooked people. When it's running, I'll be be able to resume my therapy sessions.
Ask for a variance. I did that when I built onto my house.
Lots of rules and regs, but it's better to be on the right side of the zoning commissioner. ✌😎
I've seen people's projects stopped cold because they built without permits. Then they have to pay more money to get 3rd party engineers to do a subsurface study and sign off on their slabs and foundations. Where I'm at you have to make sure the county or city inspector lays eyes on your subgrade, footings and rebar for the turn down slab and gives the ok to proceed.
Yeah, I didn't want to have to contend with that.
pole barn is cheaper and easier for zoning
Always good when you can get your ass in the wind
Hi Tramp, it's mid-April and I'm looking at your other video's and not seeing a garage. I'm a designer residential on the other side of the country, houses, garages, additions and the like, so I know just how slow and intensely frustrating it can be. I have no idea how far along in the process you are so please ignore anything that I'm about to say that is of no help.
I would not advise you to buy a building before you know that you can put it on the site. You don't need a full set of plans, but you do need a site plan that shows the property lines and the new building with dimensions, heights and setbacks. It can be hand drawn at the early stage, but you need something to take down to the county or city to pester the examiner with. Fences are not property lines, get a cheap survey or somehow find out for sure where the boundaries actually are because that makes a huge difference.
Tax maps that show the lot dimensions are usually available on the internet and so are the county survey records which you can use to find something to measure and find the corners. A lot of times you can find a recent stake or old pin from a nearby lot and use that to start your search for your property line. A shovel or metal detector helps to find the buried old iron rods. I really can't emphasize how important it is to have a good idea of that line really is, but hey, some people like basing expensive time consuming projects on guesses, those guys love to move the building afterwords. These are painful lessons that I have learned.
Nonconforming structures are all around us and they can frequently be rebuilt if you follow the applicable rules, it's all about the zoning code for your particular municipality, and the code is usually available on the internet these days. Usually the rules restrict rebuilding nonconforming structure to something close to the original footprint so unless that previous building was so awesome that you want to duplicate it, it's usually better to go ahead and build something that truly meets your needs. One last thing, make the space between the garage door and the sidewall of the garage big enough to fully open the car door and have an extra two plus feet for storage or workbenches, minimum 4.5' for decent functionality, but 6' is a lot better.
Have patience, this construction thing is more of a marathon than we like to admit. Hank
In otherwords.... it was "grandfathered in"
Glad you didnt toss the softail ride footage!
Me too. Thanks
They all want control and money. Make your life a little more harder ! Anyway love the video and keep riding. I don’t care if it isn’t perfect, rusty, missing parts. I like riding.
“Rico” from Arizona 😎🌴🌵
Well said
