[AT] Shop ceiling

[charlie hill]

Spencer,  I know you are correct about that.  I did hear a while back that 
it was subject to change but don't know if it did or not.   I believe NC has 
signed on to the "International Building Code" now.  Hopefully they exempted 
Ag buildings when the change was made.

Here in NC in most planning jurisdictions, as recently as 10 years ago(I 
guess still true),  agricultural buildings did not have to be inspected. 
Because I owned more than minimum amount of land (very small minimum, like 2 
or 3 acres) basically I could call any building not attached to my house 
agricultural and presto:  no permits, plans, inspections, etc.  There was 
only one minor fee - some kind of improvement registration fee of like $35(I 
always assumed that was so the tax collector would know about it).  There 
was no limit on how small/ big or grand/simple etc.   Just no living 
quarters.

So this is how I handled my shop.   And I get agriculture rate for 
electricity because of this.

Something to look into anyways,

Spencer
