Hello!
My city only requires building permits for sheds up to 200sqft. My HOA limits sheds to 150 sqft. So, I am going to build a 150 sqft shed, pending wife approval.
Based on my lot, The best places for my shed are as close to the side of my house as possible or right behind my house. Normally, I would just follow building code on these things, but because building code doesn't apply (or rather, isn't being called into question) by my city under 200sqft build, are there any practical problems with building my shed 1-2 inches away from my house? I can only imagine the problem is that i couldn't get back there if something went wrong, but who cares - it's 2" away from my house - what could go wrong that i need to fix?
In a perfect world, I would have them touching, but have the shed free-standing so it's not considered an addition which WOULD require building permits.
What are thoughts? Is this a dumb idea?
