Thank you Dave. If he wants to sell the house, the buyer needs to be able to find out what problems might exist. I can see the need for codes in that case. But if I'm building on my land for me, the the government can go to Hades. They have no business and no right.
It is only if I'm creating a problem that might get off my land that gov should be involved. . Could it start s fire that burns down a neighbor? Then maybe, but my taxes also pay for a fire department. If the house if for me then the burden should be on them to prove I'm a danger to others. Otherwise live free or fight like hades. It's why we have a 2nd Amendment.
It kills me to see all the kids wearing bike helmets because so few folks understand statistics. Last time I was I the ER a sign that said 50,000 preventable accidents a year. I highly doubt the number, (how many might not be helped by said helmet, and just how much are we forced to spend for such a minor problem? Aldo, how many were a little cut needing nothing more than a bandaid. We are training our young that even minor risks are to be avoided at all cost, and it's Big Govs jobs to say what we need, and of course it's not our responsibility to keep safe. If I'm wearing a helmet and get hurt SUE!
Our ancestors are spinning in their graves at how timid and fearful we've become. How many today would set of to a frontier knowing you'd have to live in a sod house just to be able to gamble you could find land to make a living.
I did build my house, and because it was on
My land and far from town. I didn't have even have a code to meet. Oh, there's a code now, but they'd have to raise standards a ton to bring them up to mine. I lived here 45 years and I'm still happy with my work. I feel sorry for those timid souls that feel safe because the Gov is protecting them. All it costs is a heck of a lot of money and even more personal freedom.
