Art + Building = Architecture

You have yourself some architecture there.


EDIT: Are those pre-fab concrete post footings? No need for metal post support to lift it one inch in your area?

I know it's not a building or even a deck, but anything with a permanent foundation requires an inspection around here (fence, accessory building/shed).

Thanks for the compliment and links. I'm not sure but I think maybe it's because we made it a double wide after we made the initial frame work. The rafters aren't symetrical. As far as inspection goes, well F them. Lets see... the city inspected and approved my house and I fell through the deck railing falling 10 feet when it broke because of the wrong size nails. I had to buy a building permit to have a fulling built shed placed on the property so I figure I'm even with them
