...as long as you build it yourself without any paid help and it is on your private property for your own use. The law more or less says that owning a home is part of the "American Dream" and stopping someone from owning a home just because they don't have the knowledge/money to build something safe and regulated isn't cool.

I guess I can live in a wizard tower like I always wanted. Neat.

That's legit a positive about America. I haven't heard one in a while.

In Canada you need permits for almost everything. We needed a permit to repair our STAIRS!

How? You probably can't sell it on but you can build a house you can honestly afford.

Unless you live in the state of anarchy, that likely isn't true. You might not have a restriction at the state level, but most counties/cities/towns have their own restrictions.

Are you an electrician, carpenter, drywaller, architect, or any of the other thousand tiny things that go into building a house? Because if you're not even one of those things, it's going to be a s*** house. While also dealing with s***y neighbors who complain about the decreasing market for the neighborhood.

These laws probably exist for cabins that exist in the middle of nowhere that the government doesn't want to deal with in the first place.

Dont listen to this guy. Build it how you want. If you hear weird sounds at night, smell something weird, or see something that looks odd or feels really hot, its fine. Its just your mind not agreeing with your heart.

I've fitted lightswitches and carpet, I've build walls of block and brick and I regularly play around with housing ideas. Want to know a secret? It's not very hard. If you're trying to follow latest code, H&S and cut corners you will have a lot of work on your hands but if you overengineer and just work, you'll find yourself plodding along reasonably comfortably.

The trick here is having some experience in planning construction.
