I'm wanting to put a porch on the front of the house this spring. I won't be that large just probably 15x8 or 9. My brother and I know what we want to do (he can build just about anything). I'm just unsure of the permits and such as I've never had to do anything like this before.
I called Gahanna building inspector guy last year and he basically said I need to come up with a drawing or what not on the hand rails, posts, etc. My brother and I were just going to throw it together (within the correct specs of course).
I guess I'm just not sure how the whole process works. Can anyone give me some insight on what actually needs to be done and/or help me fill out the paper work?
