You do not, in fact, count those buildings towards your houses square footage. Doing so would open yourself up to all sorts of liability.
You don’t count garage spaces as square footage of a house either, so what is your point? If he’s comparing garage space footage to overall living quarter footage, then you should also include pole sheds into that equation.
All that aside, you’re slapping a 25’x52’ shed onto your 1/4 acre property? That’s almost 20% of your land use not including lot encroachment setback, drainage, and basic driveway/building infrastructure. It’s your property so definitely do as you wish, but to think this is a common practice or a desirable thing outside of niche hobbyists or being used for work related activities/storage is nonsense. Neighborhood flooding, no natural green spaces for habitats, it all sounds like a horrible dystopia on your mini-compound.
No, not adding a shed, extending my garage/shop. Feel free to take a look at my YouTube videos to see how nice my garage/shop is setup now. How nice my fenced in backyard looks. And how nicely my 1400 sq foot house all sit on this property. Then you can stop talking about things that you have no idea about, thanks buddy!

Nice to see you showing your ass on a pedantic post like this.
oh look, you fit the exact description I referred to! The context of this conversation is about a mass land development, try to fucking think about it.
perfect concrete?.. you do know a drain has to lead somewhere right? Into the surrounding area which if it was all developed like you’ve done would cause problems. “Slapping” refers to adding on or new but I see I hit a nerve talking about your “bestest shed”. Would be interesting to see the videos but I try not to support creators who are assholes and your descriptive reply does nothing for the conversation. Again, you’re helping prove the point that a few anecdotal observations isn’t the norm or recommended but seems to get upvotes. Continue arguing on though, love to see the hot gas pouring out of more than a hawt dog furnace.

You’re really latching onto that sometimes bit hard aren’t you?
…information about… come on… you almost got it. I’m glad you learned about catch basins, unfortunate that you believe it negates any water run-off. You do have an outlet from the basin right? Is this a magical abyss of a basin that catches all the run off from your 3k sq ft structures and you think it’ll never fill up?
I see you’re already engaging with the OP and admitted to having horrible reading comprehension since you couldn’t discern the original intent of the post. But then you continue on with the SoMEtIMEs!! rhetoric. As you’ve stated, you’re a niche land owner who is ACTIVELY adding on to an already oversized shed, your land wasn’t originally developed that way nor is that a practice that’s done without an active home owner who has stated those needs to the builders. No one is going around developing 60%, sOmETiMeS! people add on as is their right after purchasing. Love your use of picking and choosing through the argument, truly impressive.

You’ve proven yourself to be a know-nothing blowhard over and over by now… so it should come as no surprise when I tell you. I think you’re a fool, and I don’t consider your opinion whatsoever. Honestly, you should probably get some help based on how hard you blow smoke and refuse to admit wrong. Might be some underlying issues there. In any event, stay mad bro, or be happy. It doesn’t matter to me either way, your opinions are worthless.
