wide. He has already invested $6,000 in this 30 x 40 carport. Mr. Reeves also
has a 192 square foot accessory building in his rear yard as well as a boat.

building back and pouring additional concrete so the carport would fit inside the
building line; Mr. Reeves stated this could be a feasible option.
