Just for clarification - to switch to Class 5 living space (increase your square footage and taxes ) a number of factors must be included. Floor must be raised to meet house floor, the new outer walls must meet the standards of the house envelope, Electric must be added and it must be properly finished & climate controlled. ANY quests get proper information from the County building department.

Keep in mind that the sliders being used most have limits on the wind they can handle.
