(39,909 posts)If you want to have your house/cabin appraised for Sale with bank financing,
then the bank will send out one of their inspectors who is good with rural inspections, but most places are either Owner Financed,
or Cash Outright,
[font size=3]do your own inspection[/font]
when it comes to sales.
If we have a problem with a neighbor doing something that affects OUR property or quality of Life, we first take it to our local constable,
and then, if it isn't resolved, go from there to County, State, or Federal resources.
All Federal/State hunting, health, and environmental regulations still apply,
but if we want to build a shed or add on a room to our cabin,
we just draw it out in the dirt, and start hammering.
Most of the structures here are built Over Code as far as structural integrity, but I've seen some creative solutions to Wiring.
Most people tend to do it right, especially if their lives are at stake.
My Wife and I LOVE living here,
and have been renovating the remains of a Red Cedar Log cabin that was 1/2 built and then abandoned as a goat shed for 5 years when we bought this place in 2006.
At first, it looked so bad that we were going to just Burn it Down,
but we started cleaning it up, and feel in love.
7 years later,we now live in it comfortably.
No Permits, No Inspections.
