Building a cabin under $6000 possible?
#24
I do not plan on permitting my little shabin.

The structure itself requires no permits (ag use on ag-zoned land, up to either 600sf or 1000sf per various rules) so long as it's not used for "habitation" (eating/sleeping) and doesn't have plumbing/electrical ("must use licensed contractors").

Less clear: whether low-voltage PV qualifies as "electricity" for permit/licensure requirements; does gravity-fed non-pressurized water count as "plumbing".

Legal "waste disposal" means septic, not cesspool, but a bucket that you dump in the yard is somehow ok. There is no "type-approved" compost solution.

Roofing: it's expensive everywhere, the best (my opinion) is HPM "pattern 7" deep corrugated, it has some structural integrity compared to the others. At 1:12 with purlins spaced 24", it's like walking around on a hard surface.
