Ingenious solution to the problem,surprised the county allowed it...
I agree...a lot of gov employees are into crushing lives.
I bought all the needed permits and finished construction regarding those permits. County showed up and and left notice that I needed permits. Easy to straighten up but why did I have to?
I consider selling now. I wanted to get away from it all and bam.....there is the county. They put up road signs and rebuilt a 38 year old road leading to my barn. I may wait to see what their tax plans are.
I really want to get away from it all. I already had an 'undercover' tell me he could shoot me (at 1000 yards-distant bluff) with his .308. Used to brag about his .50 with the $4400 scope, not its all about the .308. He lives in the area.
Does gov hire psychos or do they become that way with almost unlimited power?
I am a divorced 50 year young man that took an early retirement as an airline pilot for a major airline 6 years ago. I sold my home and bought a new big 45 ft motorhome/bus to travel in. After 2 years I decided to move back to Indiana and have a home base 6 months out of the year. I bought 4 acres out in the country. I didn't want to build a house just yet and instead built a 50x100x16 pole barn to store / live in my motorhome. I then built an upstairs home along one side of the building inside. (16x100). Somehow the county found out and said that was ok but what was I going to do about septic as the only place for the septic was clear on the other side of the property ( the ground testing for the septic). That was a $$$$ thing. So I installed a 60 gal. motorhome gray tank and a 40 gal black tank just like my motorhome and about every 3 or 4 weeks I take it in a 100 tank in the back of my truck to the truck stop about 5 miles down the road and dump for free. The county guy just shuck his head and drove away. That was a year ago.
That was an innovative solution, lol. Necessity is the mother of ingenuity. At least you gave the county employee a good story to tell: "just when I thought I'd seen it all...."

Well they couldn,t say any thing about me living in my motorhome outside the shop on my own land, so I moved it inside the shop and nothing was said. In fact they wanted to see in the big machine like they had never seen anything like that. So I figured if they didn't care about my motorhome then why is my barn any different.
I just love government ha ha ha.

Are you also doing some personal ads? That first sentence kind of has that air about it.

I am sorry that you thought that came out that way. I just wanted to give everybody a little back ground on me. I have been lucky enough to be able to retire early. I have no plans on another relationship as I have heart disease and have 5 to 10 years before I need a new heart which I will not get as I am a former smoker so I am just telling everyone and the government, I don't really care what they think. But I thought I would put in my 2 cents and give everyone a little experience that I had. I also know that most of the counties are broke so what are they going to do anyway. Sue me I would love that.

Sorry...didn't mean to sound serious. Most of the time, I'm trying to entertain myself or others. That doesn't always convey on the net.
I have recently given thought to running a personal ad so I guess my "radar" is going online. I just don't know how to advertise for the somewhat virtuous yet somewhat horny girls.
Glad you had luck with the county. I am considering selling now that my property has appeared on the radar of the county. That in spite of the fact that I got all permits and all is OK. Just can't stand the thought of gov CONSTANTLY watching my every move. The Patriot Act chafes my ass 24/7. That is why I fled into an area without a road....I thought. Then they reconstituted a 38 year old road. Crap.
I love my horse barn as much as I do my house. My husband and I are now in the process of turning the upstairs and 2 of the stalls into a living space. I think it will be wonderful.
I love barns and outbuildings more than homes,probably why we will be living in one soon....
Will post some pics of the new addition.
