    Default Why I can't go fishin :(


    So my house had a 500ft 3&1/2 season sun porch. Started as a deck built on grade... then someone closed it in. Then someone else poured a concrete cap over the in-ground pool. Well that left a step down from the deck/porch and a step up onto the giant patio/pool. So somone else poured 6.5" of concrete to level thing off. They poured this over a drain tile running the length of the porch and directed the water from the 800sq ft patio directly into the floor of the porch.

    The previous owner did a hack repair job which I thought was only from termite damage... I installed vinyl not knowing water was flowing across the floor.
    My wife stepped through the moldy floor earlier this year.

    So since I'm laid off and the job hunt was not going anywhere fast I've been doing this. This was built with no footings except some piers for the deck. The walls were wrong. The vinyl windows were bad. The roof is funny but not bad. Contractors wanted 70k the fix it right. This is my compromise. To avoid permits I'm doing a repair. I doubt I could get anything to pass code. My new floor is now raised and on more than 12" of concrete.Name:  20200806_174058.jpg

    Very nice, but if you don't fish some, you will not be able to hit a nail.

    Doood! Grandview? No permits? Scary.
    All it takes is a neighbor to make a phone call. Or an inspector drives by and sees no building permit properly displayed and construction in progress.
    Good luck to you.
    I'll smoke just about anything (in my smoker)
    The fishing is always great. The catching varies.

    I know....but they've been happy taking my taxes on the unpermitted structure.
    I'm a home owner doing a DIY repair and that gets alot of leniency...which is not always a good thing. My having to do this project is a perfect example of why permits and codes are important.

    Nice work Jake! You can come on over to my house next and build an addition to my house. :P I'll get the permits first.

    Thinking I might just burn it down.
    Roofer came before I started and said patching up the torchdown would be no big deal. Now they want to redo the whole thing with nice epdm, which would be awesome, but not even close to being in the budget.
    I watched 2.5 youtube videos last night. Looks like I can buy the materials and do it myself for $150....sounds like a deal to me so long as I don't catch the whole dang thing on fire!
