We are going to build on the outer walls to match the peak of the roof. He also wants to do 1 board going straight across so its not really resting that much on the roof but on the sides.

Mobile homes can barely hold themselves up. I would never put anything on top of one.
If you want to make a frame around your mobile home and put your new addition on your frame, not resting on the mobile home itself, go for it.

Question: need permit for shed if i purchase this on amazon?

it is ridiculous to have to get a permit for a diy shed such as this one. Is it true?
Answer:
Answer by ohhhdear
It depends on your city or township’s ordinances. Most will require a building permit if you’re putting the shed on a cement slab. It doesn’t matter where you bought the shed. You could have bought it from Home Depot, Menard’s or the guy who builds shed kits down the road. If you’re going to permanently install it on a slab, you may need a permit (and it may raise your property taxes).
Check with a local lumberyard that sells shed kits. They’ll know if you’ll need a building permit or not.
Question: low-level toilet leaking from joint to waste pipe,even when bowl and cistern are empty. How to fix please?
The waste pipe is inserted at the back of the toilet into a waste pipe going to the sewage system. It’s been badly sealed in the first place and 1) I am NOT going back to that guy; 2) I have no money for a plumber, so it’s diy time. I cannot stop the leaking to make it dry for using silicone sealant. Someone suggested Denzo tape, but what is it in French?!? Cheap, clever help would be appreciated.
