So, long story short is i berkeleyed up, and its snowballing into epic proportions.
I have to move an existing metal carport and lawnmower shed due to setback and property lines.
Im planning to grade the area properly, and then pour a slab. Erect a simple structure on top.
I would like to combine both buildings into one, as well as make them weathertight and lockable.
I would like to store 2 cars, my tow dolly, my riding mower, my lawncare crap, etc in it.
Existing carport is 18 wide, 21 deep. Shed is 8 wide, 12 deep. My tow dolly is on the neighbors land under a tarp (she hasn't noticed in over a year, nor has she said anything about the carport on her land. But its time to fix it now that i know about it)
I have ideas in my head i can't describe to my wife, my friends, or the city. I also dont know how big ill need to make it, or how things will need to lay out.
My plan is enclosed pole barn style. 6 inch concrete slab, french barn doors, tin roof. No power/water/insulation or anything.
Ive never tried to design from scratch. Ive built from free plans, or with the help of family. So I'm in uncharted territory for me here.
What programs/apps can u download to start? What questions am i not asking of you or myself? Where do i begin?
