The log cabin across the street from me in Meredith was built about 10 years ago and I was told by my neighbors that he lived in it while he built it. They use to offer him up a room and shower but he refused prefering to camp out in his log home.

Biggd, that was then.30 years ago, building laws were far more lax than they are now. I'm guessing the COO requirements have changed dramatically over the years, and not in a lenient way. Same thing with setbacks, sewer, water etc.
Glad you were able to do it.
