Don't worry Carey the 4 walls will have windows even though I didn't type that 
What I'm really worried about here I guess is, can you live in a place that is being built once the shell is up? Because if you can then all is well and we'll start the permitting process for the main home and live happily ever after. The reason I wanted "the dry shop" that was finalized was because I figured we would get less hassle staying in a "finaled" and "permitted" building while the real home was going up. We have secured a rental already while we clear our land and start the beginning work but its still pricey and we would like to get to our own "rent free" dry shelter as soon as possible to save money. This was my intent, to build a legal permitted structure, but get into it as soon as possible (even if we have to ruff it for bit) to save some money. We're outdoors people, sometimes camping for months on end and we know how to ruff it in luxury so that doesn't worry us. Having the "not so nice neighbor" does. So we wanted the finaled simple shop building on record if the county got "that" phone call. But if the county is ok, (or at least looks the other way) because we are trying to build our home legally, then all is well and they will soon be collecting our tax money.
