    I think a shipping container in a tree would be great fun during a thunderstorm.

    Technically, I would never do such a dastardly deed!

    I actually tried to get a State Legislator to sponsor a bill many years ago. You could remodel and or maintain your own primary residence without a permit except for water, gas and electrical supplies as well as sewer laterals. If you sold your house, you had to get it inspected and pay an inspection fee. If you did something wrong and it caused damage, your insurance company would have to pay for damage to other property, but could deny your claim based on negligence. Needless to say, there was no interest.

    I'll bump my own thread. What land size should someone buy if they are looking for a getaway/camp/hunt/shooting property. I am currently looking at 10-40 acres. Ideally looking for a place where the neighbors don't care what I do on my property

    Over 40 acres is the normal number to be able to shoot on your own property. Some counties allow less. Hunt? 5000 acres or so. Best bet is a piece of land adjacent to National forest or BLM land.

    To more easily visualize things, a square mile is 640 acres. In wooded mountainous terrain that may seem substantial but on relatively flat ground it's visually quite contained.

    Yep. You can easily see end to end on a mile as long as the hills aren't too tall.
