Life of a Bit · Vol. 2026
Plain-language references for the small projects most homeowners run into — permits, solar, and the math around them. No signups, no popups, no upsells.
Building permit requirements, fees, documents, and timelines for residential decks, fences, sheds, and ADUs across U.S. cities.
City-level solar payback estimates — system cost, federal and local incentives, projected annual savings, and break-even year.
Life of a Bit is an independent project that builds reference utilities for the questions homeowners actually ask. Each tool is researched per city and updated as municipal fees and incentive programs change. We do not sell leads or share data with contractors.
