I'm going take some pics now! , but it's dirty, haven't had time to clean it! I did mine w/o financing it and I'm glad I did it like you are talking about.
However, I need to tell you this, since I almost went to jail over it!!!!!
I don't like lawyers, car salesman, or anyone involved in real estate since since I think they make their own rules. Don't send me any hate mail guys, I have just been burned by all three groups and some of those people in those careers need a bullet. With that said, I had to have my home appraised since we were refinancing and making a substainsal addition to our home once I got re-married. I went from a 1600 sqf home to a 2400 sqf home plus a 25' x 25' carport. When the appraisal was done, I wanted to beat the guy down with my bear hands, since he only put my outdoor building as a $5K dollar "additional structure" on the paperwork. He could not understand why I was so PO'ed since he has been doing it for 20 years and never had anyone get mad at him. I told him I had $23K in the building and his response was- "I look at it as a swimming pool - some people may like a house, and not want a pool in the backyard". "That building does not add any value to your home".
Just wanted to let you know about that for your "long term" plans for the property. If I ever sell this place, I will make sure the buyer is a guy that has lots of toys and like to cook!
