I haven't any biological offspring to call my own but I do have a foster daughter. I introduce her sans "foster" and she still calls me "Dad". Her husband I refer to as my "son out law" as he ain't quite my son in law.
When I was moving into my home I had a storage building erected in my back yard for about $2500 for a 12' x 14'. The builders came highly recommended by my Mom which was good enough for me. I asked them about slapping a roof over my approx 12' x 14' deck and was given an estimate of about $2000 because it had to be built to code. Turns out my son out law builds decks and other outside add ons and says there is no code for such stuff and can do it for less than 1/2 of that price.
Always the bargain shopper I'm now trying to set up a time for him to come look at my deck with the possibility of (long as he's here) some covered parking and an add on just covered pole barn on the North side of my barn. My presently uncovered parking area is about 13' x 20' and I'd like the pole barn about same as the barn (12' x 14').
He's a wormy little runt like myself so I reckon if I offer to toss a couple burgers down his throat plus the family discount I should make out fairly well.
