RE: Homestead Permt Applications Part 2 - Who You Talk to Matters
I wish you could have called me before you started this entire process.
Man 8 foot wide is not going to be a large enough covered porch width you need at least 12 foot.
Everything in home building is who you know. You have to make friends with the Code Enforcement officer. What ever it takes! They are the one with the real answers because they are the one that enforces the codes.
That was a very early drawing. As of right now the house plan shows a 10 foot covered area. I sort of mean it to be a mixed use area and not just a deck. I will probably put brick or paving stone down so we can use it for a patio but also to park a quad or small machinery. We won't have a garage or shop for at least one more year.
Just think about a round table with 6 chairs sitting around it, with other people trying to get around that table with 6 chairs. All the other stuff that you will want to keep out of the weather as well.
