After being inspired by Ivan's shed build and the progression photos that he has on it, I've been throwing around ideas to build a shed of my own next summer (or possibly the summer following that). I'm looking for some advice on an idea that could allow me to get away with building the shed without having to get a permit. The idea was presented to me but I couldn't really refute the logic behind it even though it seems unorthodox. The idea involves building skids in a frame and then building the log shed on top of that. This way the shed wouldn't be considered permanent structure and therefore would not require a permit. I'm thinking that I'd have 4x6 skids and build the floor on top of the skids. Then I'd set my first row of logs on top of that and build up in the normal pinned bnp fashion from there.
I also had a question for Ivan. When you built your shed why did you decide to do cinder blocks instead of pouring concrete posts using the sono-tubes? I'd imagine cost probably had something to do with it and I'd also imagine you put a footer below the frost line and stacked your blocks on top of that.
That's it for now. I look forward to hearing from some of the regulars that always have great advice.
Thanks,
Jake
