What exactly do you know and what do you know you need help with?

I know that the area im going to use needs to be decently high above the water table and an area that doesnt flood regularly, and that the area should be level dirt without rocs or lots of roots in the soil. I also knw tht it should be in decent range of a natural water source.

I know the building itself will have to pass local and state inspections and that it needs to be damn secure...besides tht im basically lost

Don't forget to get permits for the buidling, Kentucky has some crazy laws and fines for buidling without them.

Winning isn't a reason to get a reward but one less poke in the eye, while losing gets you two.

You would be surprised what "silly" and or "stupid" laws there are out there (granted MOST of them are not enforced, but it doesn't mean they cannot be). So yeah, Odesseyzephyr has the right idea there.

Yea, i never tried to build anything but they want you to have permits for anything bigger than a shed.
