Howdy. I'm a newbie to tribe.net. I recently bought a piece of rural land in the mountains. The land is far from the grid. I want it to be an occasional weekend getaway, but I have no construction skills and little money and don't want to build an expensive structure that will be an open invitation to burglars and thieves when it is unattended. The permitting process in my state is very expensive and elaborate, so I don't want to mess with it. But, I don't want to build something that will be in violation of the building codes, in case I get inspected. I considered many cheap, alternative shelter options (yurts, treehouses, teepees, shipping containers, etc.) but finally decided to have an 8' x 14' shed custom-built off-site and delivered. This circumvents the building permit process. The shed will have a steeply pitched roof, a sleeping loft, a wood-burning stove, 3 windows, double shed doors on one end and a regular door on the far side. No plumbing or electricity. I am going to insulate it and finish the interior with a friend. 2 rain barrels will catch water off the roof, and I plan to build a covered porch off one side of the structure, which can later be framed in. A portable (and removable) solar panel and battery will supply power for 2 lights at night. An outhouse will suffice for the toilet, and I may have a well drilled at some point. If I do, it will have a hand-pump. This housing option is the simplest and cheapest one I was able to come up with. It also suits my sensibilities. FYI: apparently any structure over 8' wide is considered a wide load (in my state) if it needs to be transported via truck/trailer, thus it saves money to limit the width to 8 feet.
