CityViewNC.com | 33 In October of 2014, I opened discussion with the county inspectors to go over the details for a project like this. I hired a residential designer and drew up professional plans, which the county approved to become a 1,200 square foot foundation footprint on a piece of land I had purchased from a friend. I was going to be my own general contractor, but I did hire a concrete company to pour the slab, a plumber to put in the drainage and water lines, and a backhoe company to put in the septic system. e price of the building actually included the erection of the structure. It all seemed slightly overwhelming, but it wasn't anything that was out of reach. We broke ground late March 2016. e foundation wasn't poured until mid-May due to several delays because of rain. My building, too, had to be re-ordered. As frustrating as all the setbacks were, I knew it would pay off if I remained determined and kept the end goal in mind. Two days aer the building was complete, I began working on the interior walls. Using simple materials that provided a so, yet industrial look, I framed out the areas where I wanted the windows and the A/C unit to be. I framed out the bathroom and the storage lo. e space took shape and I could see where my efforts and hard work were going. Aer the framing was completed and inspected, I had a company come in and spray a layer of closed cell insulation across the entire roof of the building and the three metal walls in the "apartment." is closed cell insulation would serve as my vapor barrier, and once I added the fiberglass bat insulation on top of that I would be insulated to R-40 in the apartment ceiling and the wall where the morning sun beats down on until around noon.
