HELP - Utility lines next to Stumps & the driveway!

[MossflowerWoods]

Do a "cheat" grind on the stumps, this only takes them down only 3" below ground, from there spray roundup, add soil and seed. 3" should be a safe depth and new soil and a new seed bed on top should make them a memory.

That is basically what I hope to accomplish.

Makes it all more complicated though...

High Compression,

Yes this is my private driveway.

I am totally staying away from he electric, and YES I have a big green High Voltage box up by the house. So this is SERIOUS voltage line meandering around my driveway... Great...

Something the widow said back when I was buying this place makes me think the electric is not in conduit (unless those orange plastic ones could be used.

The phone line is my issue now...

Forget the phone line I have cut mine 3 times and they come out and put a new one in. The first 2 times was their fault, first was only an inch under the driveway and i actually cut it backdraging with the skidsteer second was not where they said it was. Last summer I was digging a stump out with an excavator and knew where the line was and the last scoop before popping the stump out I just completely forgot about it and cut it. When they came out i even told them what happened and showed them where and the guy said ill just run a new one from the road its easier. Im 400 feet from the road. Was never charged for any of them.

As far as your building goes, you can just build a sled style and move it as necessary. For the sled base you will have to go with four runners made from double 2x12's with the bottom corners nipped 3" so they won't snag when moving, use 2x10's for the spacers every 12". Glue and nail your sled base together and top with 3/4" plywood that is glued and screwed, build your shed on that as you would normally, with the addition of cross braces halfway up the wall and you will end up with a portable shed strong enough to be moved or taken with you if you move. I have built 2 such structures and have moved them a few times as my needs changed, another benefit is portable means no permit in most areas.

Not much point in building the shed to be portable. If the electric line fails for any reason the fix will be to run a new line. Hopefully with an improved path from street to transformer pad. My concern with the new building site would be depth of foundation though, don't wan't to cut the line.

No foundation=no line cut and no permit, less hassle, no concrete and flexibility to move if future plans change.

The shed (I have a number of other threads) is 20 x 10 and will hold my 4 Harley's.

I am planning to build it "floating" on deck footer's. I was going to start on Friday because I have 3 days off plus the weekend, and nice weather... We shall see what I can manage to get started...

Also 200 square foot or less = no permit here. Not sure if they have a ruling on sleds...

BUT, I plan to build a Sled Shed for my tools and a work bench. I think that idea ROCKS! But not before spring.

I just was just thinking about the one I built at the tree farm a few years ago, it is 10x16. It has been moved at least two dozen times as it is used for everything from a mobile office to a hut to warm up when selling Christmas trees...yes there even is a wood burner in there.

It is a brilliant idea. I will build my shop/tool shed JUST like that, so I can move it.:thumbsup::thumbsup: I need to decide if it (shop/tool shed) would be better (easier to move?) as a 14.5 x 14.5 square or 10 x 20...

But this shed is specifically a Harley Garage for all intents and purposes. Semi permanent...

A big benefit also is there is no real estate tax on portable buildings because they aren't a perminent structure .

last time i had my phone line marked the guy doing it was able to estimate how deep it is based on his instrument readings. or so he said.
