Can you build a sturdy shed? My municipality allows up to 110 square feet without a permit.

I wondered where this 'Joseph City' in Arizona is, and, alas, it is in northern AZ between Winslow ('Standing on the Corner'-Eagles) and Holbrook (believe it or not, I know the police chief there, LOL, although I have not seen him in over 10 years, and he was a deputy sheriff for Navajo County when I knew him). I used to live and work about an hour and a half from there on a school district on the Navajo Reservation. Our district was quite rural, and had the best riding areas. Many miles of dirt roads and many places to ride. Heck, our school district even had a motocross track, which would have competitions every month or two from a series of a northern AZ off-road league! But, ironically, the pay was so low, I could NOT afford a bike or quad at the time :(

Well my delivery is delayed by the 2 feet of snow we got. I am dead ass beat from shoveling snow and my hawk twin pack sits in a trailer in harrisonburg pa.

Funny enough ive spent time in yuma, az. My stepfather did some real estate development down there in the 80's. I was fortunate enough to rent a honda 3wheeler out at glamis once too...great experience for a city kid. Also did some dove hunting down there one year.

Technically im not supposed to put up any permanent structures... i think "permanent" is my loophole : )
i ll be too busy building my hawks to build a shed though... im horribly spontaneous and terribly impatient.

no update on mine today. I hope it's at least to Arkansas or perhaps Memphis if I'm lucky. Not sure what other shipping stops the semi might have though. Might be why mine still says it's in OK. Twiddling my thumbs watching snow melt here. I did go out in the garage and start both my concours and my nomad just to listen to the motors and rev them a little. Sure do hate winter! :(

With the arrival of the bikes you became an official owner. You became an official forum member when you registered. We don't require someone to own a Chinese motorcycle to be a forum member.
