Hi,

Wow! We, have no other way to tell you hi… so hi. If you need a shower come to Di’s house in ABQ. We like your video and you look great. Remember when you flew over Banister Mall? I don’t.

Thats all for now.

Adios,

Hey, as far as code goes… we’re focused on IBC for framing and electrical, and I also want to discuss restrictions for “living” or “recreating” in a little house on wheels. There’s great stuff in the code that can be applied to the house/trailer connection and to the general structure.

RE: John Wells place…

I’ve been noticing that there are places without much building code enforcement. Another real expense is property tax. It seems John has found a place in Texas where the taxes are super low and the building code enforcement is not an issue either.

It would be very interesting to put together a list of places like this for those looking to find the last few places in America where people can live without these burdens… but I suspect they are also places with few jobs and little infrastructure.

Just need to find a place like John Wells. Building codes? What building codes?

I’m just amazed at what he has built and so frugaly too, as you pointed out. I never really thought that much of the osb look before, but now I kinda like it. His osb desk, kitchen counter, and cabinet doors.

Yeah Portland seems like a very tiny house friendly place to live.

Not sure about property taxes etc but it seems like a lot of folks gravitate to that part of Oregon.
