buildig with permit vs no permit

[randomq]

There is something satisfying and liberating owning your home outright, and not being beholden to a paycheck to have a roof over your head. Also being off-grid and not having huge monthly bills or fridge-spoiling power outages. Also the intangible psychological benefit of living in a home you designed and built as you saw fit. But I concede if I ever get too old for this shit, I won't be able to sell for as much as it's worth (but probably still more than I put into it).

Or if Karen turns me in, I'll tear out the wiring and plumbing and turn it into a combo rooster farm / dog kennel, and absolutely ruin my new neighbor's day and property value. Ag lot, baby!
