Thanks, Lauren... now you are inspiring me.
It's great to know there are a few who see things the same as I do, and just need direction to get away from the brainwashing that has been slipped in slowly over the years.
You will get caught... for what??? Exercising my God given right to provide shelter for myself and my family?
This thinking has been so browbeat into the sheeple that they are afraid to try to build for themselves on even a remote piece of land without ratting themselves out.
I have gone the other way. I have posted Constitutional No Trespassing Signs all over access points to my land and will attempt to invoice and collect from the individual lawbreaker, inspector etc. if they dare violate my civil and God given rights. Supposedly the county will not pick up the tab as it is the individuals choice to trespass in violation of the law. I haven't had to follow through from my end because no one seems willing to test me. I do know that officials have questions about their legality regarding the sign as in one instance a Sheriff called in an unmarked car to take the sign down at a distant neighbors before he would enter.
Am I crazy??? I hope they always continue to think so.
During last year's fire a call went out over the radio from the firefighters that there was a crazy man with guns and a tractor on the hill. That was me.
The Sheriff had tried to run me out against my will. I was staying, I decided, so came back in and loaded my shotgun and .380.
The law will not protect you if you don't know it. Once they realized I knew it and was willing to die to preserve my rights they were agreeable. They apologized publicly at a town meeting for times they were out of line. I was not there as I had to remain on my property to be within my rights.

The cities are just the cattle pens of the elite. Stock pens for growing bodies to supply their manpower for the conquest of small relatively defenseless resource rich countries. There is never enough money for the rulers of the world.
Owner builders are a bit more out of control than they like to see, hence it is sometimes better to forget to ask than to have them delve into their millions of reasons you can't do it. Getting into lax code enforcement , or no code areas helps immensely.
I cannot condone following my example as you will run your own risks but the more you educate yourself the better your chances are.
As Mike mentioned - the utilities often work hand in hand with the building department. Be the best neighbor in the world so your neighbor does not generate a complaint that has to be checked. The building officials here mentioned that they wished some people I know would just leave each other alone because they did not want to go there and check for code violations.
They were feuding and turning each other in constantly for a while. War by building inspector.
Out in the country, a bit more out of sight, the individual has a much better chance. In case the system fails for one reason or another, there is less than three days of food available in the city. Stores are now simply transfer stations for trucks from distant areas. No oil, fuel or power... the system fails and it is chaos in the cities.
Grow a garden - have your own water source. Take care of your self. Try not to rely on Big Brother for anything. The farther you advance toward that goal the easier it will be to transition to a time when he is not there.
Will it happen in our time? It doesn't matter if we are always prepared.
That is a bit of my insight. Til later.
