boxes

I read with great admiration about these great little houses. The authorities will twig to what is going on and legislate them and you will have to employ the local inspector.
Now if you call it a box then they come in many forms so the question is how do you legislate a box or a boat. Build a big boat and cut a hole in the side to work threw, No inspectors until you put it on the water.then the inspectors arrive in there droves.
In some places you need approval for painting or fencing, When the man arrives with a big stick to fine you for your mistakes of PAINTING tell him you don't like the colour and it will be over painted as this is just the undercoat. Just don't use there terminology a verandah is a patio is a what ever you can think of, and remember it is temporary. Just one more thing the roof is a lid.

help

When I left my home in Wollongong and moved into a shack at Junee I had nothing. I did find help and it was from myself no one else. I learnt as I went along and was guided by the local hardware man, Peter and his son. I asked for his ideas and then did it my way any way. He often laughs and has told my son that he needn't bothered as I would do it my way. Yes but the advise was listened to with great admiration from whom it was given. I learnt a lot and I see where the cyclone victims are in dire straights. They don't have tickets for rubbish removal or cleaning tickets building or plumbing but then I didn't either. God didn't help me nor did the council as I once read "someone helps those who helps themselves".
I have been amused that the houses after Katrina are not rebuilt even today...Some times people have disasters in there lives and if it is not a natural disaster or a mine blowing up then you are on your own as I was. It was still a disaster, just as big as these are today but the difference is you are totally on your own no support to turn too..Yes help yourselves you will come threw it and be a stronger person for it....

Things you need to KNOW

I have six things that serve me well
They everything I know;
They are What, Where, When,Why,How and Who.
Ask and you will receive.
It doesn't take much but can be destroyed by,
Must, should, could, would, can't and insurance
and the proverbial know it all.
This last one comes in the form of a little man with little power and a big stick.

Examples are inspectors of all types.
That is (          ) inspector, insert your own word.
Then there is the tried and true and comes in one form
Knowledge.
Knowledge beats all inspectors.
Have a pen and paper handy and ask them to write down there mathematical equation and put in the relevant figures and prove you are wrong.
This is called the bluff and is guaranteed to work.
You don't have to know the equations all you have to do is check his figures.
Another fact all building have equations,
tension sheer torsional speed horsepower and the list goes on.
All things have a equations its up to the (     ) inspector to know this.
Remember that's his job
