Building inspectors can be a pain. They have a lot of power and all it takes is the slightest noncompliance to wield it. You probably want to make extra effort to not set them off, and you might still end up with one that is having a bad day and he wants to transfer some of the load. People are constructing by eyeball around here, measurement is for sissy's, so it makes it easy for them, and you really don't want to get them finding one violation leading to multiple violations. There is the building code but that references national standards to the point of number of staples per distance for electric wiring.
Sounds like Acres is where the displaced are heading since the disruption of the lava flow. A lot of people left and it seems many are shifting towards north Puna as somehow less likely to be affected by an extended flow. It's pretty funny, a few years ago, PW was full of south Puna "cheapest lot" postings, followed by "chintzy cheapskate construction alternative suggestions". The times, they do change.
