gah... I'm still trying to figure out how to exclude my home from necessary permits and the Uniform Construction Code.

So far, the only way I find is to build it as a "seasonally occupied" or "recreational use" structure, which then can only be occupied as such, and not as a primary residence. From there, I can't find a way to convert it to a permanent residence.

It would just be a lot LOT cheaper/easier to not have to involve code inspections and such while building the place, other than electrical inspection, which is necessary for a grid hookup (which I will need for the time being.)

It's not that I don't intend to fully follow the UCC while doing everything I've laid out, it's just that I can't AFFORD to file all the paperwork and pay an architect to draw the planning and construction prints, when I'm not hiring a contractor for any part of the job.

GRRRRRAHHAHHAHHHHH!
