#1. Before you start anything check with your local Planning & Zoning Office. See if what you want to do is even possible. They will TELL you how big/tall you can go. There will be setbacks from property lines to consider. They will require engineered plans to be filed and you will pay for a building permit. No sense in building something and then Big Brother telling you to tear it down. Don't try to sneek it in, your neighbors will rat you out.
#2. Bigger is always better.
