That's what I was looking for Ryan, good stuff
Seth (aka "Mr. Start Threads About Obscure Stuff That Has Nothing To Do With Wheeling Nor Do I Intend To Pursue This Decade"). Fawk off.
The last 4 people I have talked to about this project have said to get the slab poured and buy the materials plus brats and beer and we'll build it ourselves. Is this retarded or doable? One of them has spent a couple of years framing houses.
Are full engineer-approved plans (that I could get building permits for) available for reasonable cost anywhere? Could I just pay a CE to make me some (again at reasonable cost)?
google is your friend.

its doable, but make sure you have a dedicated crew that will not fag out halfway though.
Also, do you have to go to a big city for permitting. I know that getting plans approved in Houston bigger ordeal than a smaller city like Spring.
You doing a wood framed house style garage or a metal building. If you need engineered plans on the metal building buy a kit. Will be way cheaper. If engineered plans are not required I can tell you how to do it. Check on the permitting before you plan too much.
Have fun with this..

It says what work you can do, and what you must pay someone to do. Interesting.
no no, I read to the bottom of page 2 and thought that was it, missing a few posts including brett's. That site is pretty wild.
homo-wner. nice.

eric, look into hiring a third party inspector if denver uses them. they are not pricks that couldn't get a job anywhere else and you only have to wait a day at the most to get an inspection. I can usually get the people we use out the same day if I call them early enough. It usually cost more but saves a lot of headache (and lots of time) and they will usually help you out and answer questions rather than just showing up and looking for a red tag item so they can collect more $ on a reinspection fee. I have had the our 3rd party company show up at my jobsite and he told me something wouldn't pass, said he would be back later in the day. He came back and asked me if I fixed it and handed me my green tag.
how about make the concrete pad off the back an enclosed porch? That way you could have more room and lock stuff up but wouldn't have to tear it out when you move?

actually you can see in the aerial view that it was like that at some point recently, I guess that's the pile of lumber in the yard. That pad is going to be covered with a huge farkin wood patio. With things moving a little faster now, I think I am going to see if there's enough lumber there to build a small shed, and pour an even smaller, thinner (2"?) slab to put it on. Nail gun and compressor cost $60/day to rent, so expect a BDR-esque compressor thread shortly
