Well nothing ever goes as planned these days. Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches. The Craft shed was supposed to be delivered Tuesday, but they called Monday and said that there was a mix up in schedule so they will be here on Thursday. Thank goodness it has not rained here in several days and the ground is dry and hard!
Some background research to do before buying a shed:
Find out if your county needs a building permit. (My building is over 12 feet high so they require it)
Measure your area in the yard and see what kind of leveling you will need.
Talk to your neighbor about the delivery and let them know that you will do your best to be respectful of their property.
Keep in mind that weather can effect your delivery time if other deliveries prior to yours get pushed back.
Building Permit requirements for my shed
The county inspection said that we need to be at least 5 feet from the neighbors property line. We fortunately still have the markers up from when we had our house surveyed a few years back.
I had to submit a drawing and how it will look on the blocks and how it will be anchored into the ground.
It cost me $95 for a residential building permit. The office took both cash and card, but it had to be exact cash so come prepared!
Prior to shed being delivered
I had my fence removed in the area I wanted it because I want the porch inside the yard. You don’t have to do that, but it is an option.
Remove any landscape or personal items that might be in the way.
Communicate with neighbors of the delivery.
Stay tuned until the next post!
