[QUOTE="OKCShooter, post: 2593795, member: 9994"] The issues of doing it this way would be: If caught by the City during building (in Edmond) you would be tearing everything down and paying a fine. If anything you built was ever a cause for damage, Insurance probably wouldn't cover it (since it wasn't done by a licensed contractor) The square feet you add wouldn't be "Official" although that only matters if you sell it - and you wouldn't pay property taxes on the increased value since the Assessor wouldn't be made aware. There could be issues when you sell the house with a "do it yourself" structure that could hurt the overall value of your property. ....if you never sell the house and it's a simple room, then DIY is fine. If, however, you are wanting to build an area that should have value and you might sell some day, then DIY could end up hurting you. I'm not sure what you're doubting, but luckily for me, I couldn't care less:loser: [/QUOTE]
