No one preventing you from taking the chances that make life worth living.

ex: Not long ago in rural PA you could buy a piece of land, throw up your cabin and nobody would try to control your project in any meaningful way. When I did my place, the main state obstacle was the septic system. The state demanded a sand mound whether you were using composting toilets or not. Now they want to inspect your home throughout the building process and prevent you from building in any manner which they don't find code worthy. If you haven't figured it out yet this legislation is a nice little gift to the construction industry, since many folks can build on their own but few are willing to jump through the hoops.
