You do not, in fact, count those buildings towards your houses square footage. Doing so would open yourself up to all sorts of liability.
For further considerations of those that are interested (ANSI Draft, figure 1, page 6, outside source as the real ansi website is just atrocious to navigate and I'm not gonna dox myself by loading up local code.)
All that aside, you're slapping a 25'x52' shed onto your 1/4 acre property? That's almost 20% of your land use not including lot encroachment setback, drainage, and basic driveway/building infrastructure. It's your property so definitely do as you wish, but to think this is a common practice or a desirable thing outside of niche hobbyists or being used for work related activities/storage is nonsense. Neighborhood flooding, no natural green spaces for habitats, it all sounds like a horrible dystopia on your mini-compound.
You don't count garage spaces as square footage of a house either, so what is your point? If he's comparing garage space footage to living quarter footage, then you should also include pole sheds into that equation. Fucking think about it... use the context of this conversation, and attempt to apply a little critical thinking.
No, not adding a shed, extending my garage/shop. It has steel siding, nice windows, fully insulated 6 inch walls finished with osb on the inside, ceiling with tons of lighting, a ceiling mounted hot dawg furnace that takes it from 20F to 60F in literally 10 minutes, and perfect concrete with a drain.
A lot of people use their garages for other things than just storing vehicles. Feel free to take a look at my YouTube videos to see how nice my garage/shop is setup now. And how nice my fenced in backyard looks, and how the garage doesn't take away from it, nor would adding the 20' onto the back of it. And how nicely this and my house all sit on this property. Then you can stop talking out of your ass, thanks buddy! Again, this OP has really been proving his point in a roundabout way, a lot of people in here like you talking out of their asses and getting upvotes.
Nice to see you showing your ass on a pedantic post like this.
oh look, you fit the exact description I referred to! The context of this conversation is about a mass land development, try to fucking think about it.
perfect concrete?... you do know a drain has to lead somewhere right? Into the surrounding area which if it was all developed like you've done would cause problems. "Slapping" refers to adding on or new but I see I hit a nerve talking about your "bestest shed". Would be interesting to see the videos but I try not to support creators who are assholes and your descriptive reply does nothing for the conversation. Again, you're helping prove the point that a few anecdotal observations isn't the norm or recommended but seems to get upvotes. Continue arguing on though, love to see the hot gas pouring out of more than a hawt dog furnace.
You just can't help but talk out of your ass about things you know nothing about, huh? Have you ever heard of a dry well or a catch basin? And nothing but snow melt goes down into it anyway. What is with people that quite obviously have no experience on a topic talking so confidently out of their asses? It is the Dunning-Kruger effect on full display with you. I mean, you're the person that came in swinging about living quarter square footage as a counter to pole sheds without realizing it also doesn't apply to garages either... so what more can I actually expect? Just stop embarrassing yourself.
No, the context of this post is about upvoting incorrect information, and downvoting correct information.
And you're again proving the point that you have horrible reading comprehension. No one made the claim that it is the norm, the claim was, "Sometimes, the garage is more than 60% of the whole house." And that is absolutely true.
You're really latching onto that sometimes bit hard aren't you?
....information about..... come on.... you almost got it. I'm glad you learned about catch basins, unfortunate that you believe it negates any water run-off. You do have an outlet from the basin right? Is this a magical abyss of a basin that catches all the run off from your 3k sq ft structures and you think it'll never fill up?
I see you're already engaging with the OP and admitted to having horrible reading comprehension since you couldn't discern the original intent of the post. But then you continue on with the SoMEtIMEs!! rhetoric. As you've stated, you're a niche land owner who is ACTIVELY adding on to an already oversized shed, your land wasn't originally developed that way nor is that a practice that's done without an active home owner who has stated those needs to the builders. No one is going around developing 60%, sOmETiMeS! people add on as is their right after purchasing. Love your use of picking and choosing through the argument, truly impressive.
You've proven yourself to be a know-nothing blowhard over and over by now... so it should come as no surprise when I tell you this, but... I think you're a fool, and I don't consider your opinion whatsoever. Honestly, you should probably get some help based on how adamantly you refuse to admit wrong when it's been quite obvious. Might be some underlying issues there. In any event, stay mad about being called out or learn from this, grow, and be happy. I have better things to do than argue with a confidently wrong blowhard that is continually arguing tangents to delay the inevitable of facing reality and admitting they are wrong. You've embarrassed yourself enough, you've wasted enough of my time. Deuces!
Be still my heart, apparently it matters because you've lost all words and have gone the typical route of insults. I hope that's how you learn and are happy, to think you actually had any factual knowledge to have a conversation with is my fault. This replies screams of something you're dying to tell yourself in a mirror, you're not even pointing out what I need to admit to so I'm assuming it's a message to yourself. Have fun crying in your shed and make sure to clean your basin often, you can think of me next time you're out there.
Bye Felicia!
