Can I disguise, cover or add a front “plate”, facing, or facade to make a gambrel-roofed shed better match a more traditional/conventional slant-roof home style? It’s too barn-y for the house, which is a 3-sides brick, 1960s mock Tudor.
Township ordinance states that if I move and replace it, I can’t keep it on the property line or keep the reinforced poured concrete slab it sits on, or keep the guttering and downspout on it, where it would end up having to be placed. If moved to code, it would end up almost touching my house on the garden/patio side where right now there are bushes, trees and distance which hide or disguise where it is now. You see it in full, face on, view when entering the rear entry drive now, though.
I’d like to keep this larger, 10 x 12 wooden shed with wide, double doors (but no windows or roof lights) right where it is—-but upgrade its exterior appearance. It has electricity abd water run to it, as the previous owner likely used it as a workshop and not fur storage as we do. A new shed of the same quality would likely cost about 8-12k. I’d like to do this upgrade for far less, as we plan to sell this home within 18-24 months.
