I've watched that movie and, as a former rural County Commissioner that fought the mindless bureaucracy, understood completely how stupid we have become as a culture anchored in arbitrary rules and regulations that accomplish nothing but control over people that are perfectly capable of running their own lives without the "help" of a technocrat. God Bless you and Chuck for tackling a hand built home so late in life. I look at our hand built log home and know for a fact that I would have zero chance of ever replicating the work that took me 2 years of 12 hour days 6 days a week to build when I was still in my 40s. I love your tenacity and the genuine goodness of your souls!!
If we all served in local government, as the founders intended, there would be a lot less regulation since it directly affects our neighborhoods. We know what a thankless task it is and appreciate how hard you have worked to protect individual rights!
Grand advice! Start small and build as you have the money and time. Thanks for the movie recommendation, too!
My other advice is don't covet the big houses of your neighbors!
