Garage
Doesn't anyone pour a footer below the frost line and build a proper foundation for a garage anymore?

If there's a permit, then it will be done per code. Code is below frost line. So I assume so. The thing to do - when you have the money available, is to get quotes from 3-4 sources. Pre-fab will be cheapest generally and go up quickest. There should be a "steel" building company selling kits as well as other commercial companies with pre-fab kits.

Frostline? What is that? Never heard of it... Maybe when it gets really cold, like in the 40's..
