Building a shop in my back yard in Sacramento SIMPLE

[SHELBY MESSER]

Sacramento is a different 'BEAR' I've been to the permit office regularly for over a year. In the building plans They want all receptacles and switches and lights drawed in the plans. Nothing I drew seemed to satisfy them. I needed to have an arqute draw my plans. Well, I ordered my building out of Tenn. Got free shipping and a 10 % discount and no taxes. I'm Planning on led lights for they are brighter and cheaper to operate. Just sent and O K to the company on my building plans. So hopefully things will start rolling. Yelp I still have to get my permit Shelby, Sacramento

Suggest "Going to Silent Running" when dealing with the permit process: they tend to get "Pissy" when they think you are either "mocking a sacred cow" or attempting an "end run on their "HOLY WRIT"(which most of them don't understand either, except that it is "HOLY WRIT" & must be followed to at least the 8th or 9th decimal place!!) You are on the right track with the "portable/non-permanent" structure, &, as long as they're not spiked down, you can connect a couple of your vertical supports across the floor with a couple of pieces of channel iron(suggest at least 8" or 10")to help with stability. Once the crushed rock is leveled, one can always lay down a "temporary floor" of 3/4" or 1" plywood so that wheeled tools will be able to roll without sinking into the crushed rock. AND, FOR THE INSPECTER'S BENEFIT : It's still TEMPORARY &/or PORTABLE. Of course , one can always either pour a driveway up to(but not touching) this temporary structure &, if questioned, can always claim it as "RV Parking". ALL OUTSIDE THE BOX & WITHIN THE RULES. AND PLEASE: KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN!!!

I know it takes forever. I have my cabin all cleared out. The drywall contractor is there today. By next week I should be able to paint it. Then install kitchen cabinets, counter tops, and flooring. It will almost be a house.

GOT MY PERMIT TODAY AROUND 11 AM after over 13 mos. of back and forth. Now I can get my building shipped and get started putting it in motion. excited Over 10,000 views on this so you guys must have an interest in this shop. I'll keep a posting up date with pictures. It will only be a 18 'X 24' shop. But I only have a 1/4 acre with a 3 bed room house

Are you going to be painting in that shop??? 1/4 acre in a subdivision is going to be a problem. You better get proactive here and get to know your neighbors.

Wouldn't you know that me next door neighbor is an city attorney. Right now we get along pretty well. Shelby, Sacramento
