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.

That sounds like a great bill!!

That looks real cool. Sucks that my primary property decision has always been dictated by how far it is to the mall.

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

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

What land size should someone buy

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.

35 acres or more allows you to drill a well. As water is essential to survival, to me, this - an a tappable water table under the property, or a working well already ON the property - defines the lower boundary.
