Did you ask?

You're going to report me to the permit office aren't you?

Is that like asking the forums?

Don't ask, don't tell. Do whatever the F you want.

That's what I do.

I got one bid so far. I want to build a two story shed. The ones I see Amish built are on skids. I want to extend mine.

1-Dig out footings for 8" block walls 2' deep and 2' wide install rebar and pour concrete footers 1' deep with 4000 psi concrete 5 yards of concrete


2-Lay 3 courses of 8" block around foundation.


3-Install 4" of # 57 gravel with plastic on top of gravel and wire mesh on top of plastic for vapor barrier.


4-Pour 5" of concrete 4000 psi for slab with smooth finish.


Material cost--$3635.00
Labor cost-----$4500.00
-----------------
Total-------------$8130.00

Oh hell no. I'm not stacking that much wood. Stacking a load of wood is enough :)

That's what I do. and if you do it, it's ok

Hmmm, a little variance in my math. footers will take 4 yards
Slab will need 8 yards of concrete ~ $1440.00
1 roll of wire mesh ~ $110.00
110 block ~ $ 55.00
#57 stone, 7 yards ~ $ 300.00
plastic ~ $60.00
rebar ~ $50.00
mortar ~ $25.00
sand 1/2 yard ~$75.00

materials = ~$2115.00

layout ~$500.00
footer pour ~$250.00
slab pour and finish ~$800.00
block install ~$250.00
excavate and backfill ~ $750.00

labor =~$2550.00
These prices are close to "at cost", the contractor still has to make profits somewhere, just maybe not as much......I'd also get a 6 bag mix on the concrete.

And yes, you will need a permit from the county for any structure of this size.

about this permit thing.
you can take up and replace sidewalks, driveways etc...
but, if putting down new impervious covers, due to the restrictions on the actual percentage of land allowed to be covered, you just might need a permit in order to alter the absorption of your property. I think its something like 25% of the land is allowed to be covered by impervious areas, this includes the house, sidewalks, patios etc...
unless one is on a large property, I would imagine that a survey would have to be done to make sure that the natural flow of rain water is not changed or diverted and that the coverage area fits into the requirements
