@@homesteadingbarndo Because their reasoning is that theyre afraid youre gonna dump the sewage on the ground. That fear alone shouldnt be the basis of keeping it illegal, just make it plainly illegal to dump on the ground. Im practically homeless right now. Im riddled with debt and was evicted from my apartment because I couldnt pay the rent anymore because they raised it from $1050 to $1450 per month. I needed to leave, so instead of being homeless, I picked up a cheap, $5000 camper to live in. Parked it on my parents property. Zoning laws in my town do not allow RVs to be used for "human habitation" So the way I see it, they would rather me be homeless on the street (Which is also illegal to live on the street where I live) than have a home on someone elses land that I have full permission to be on. Fuck the zoning laws, I live in it anyway. So where am I supposed to go if I follow the laws? I cant be on the street because thats illegal, I cant live in a camper because thats illegal, and I cant stay in my relatives house because they dont have the space to accomodate me. Its beyond disgusting that towns do not allow you to purchase an RV to live in, because they dont consider them homesteads. The law does not grant me any options. I'm damned if I do, damned if I dont. So I have no choice but to break the zoning laws. The ONLY way in my town that they will allow you to live in an RV on your property is if you remove the wheels from it, and pay upwards of $20,000 to the town to have them come and set up a way for your sewage to dump to the septic tank. ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY TO THEM. Luckily, its pretty easy to get away with doing it. I've been living in it for 7 months now and have yet to have any problems. Luckily my house is not viewable from the street, so unless zoning regulation officers have a reason to come here, they wont.

@@homesteadingbarndo I had to leave my apartment because rent increased from $1050 per month to $1450 per month. I have so much debt that Im practically homeless. Its illegal for me to live on the street where I live, you cant set up encampments on the streets. Cant live in a camp in the woods because its town owned land, so I purchased a $5000 RV to live in. Parked it on my parents property. Only to find out later that zoning laws also do not allow me to live in an RV on family owned property. RV/Mobile Homes cannot be used for human habitation. RVs can only be parked or stored on your property. The only way zoning laws would allow me to live in the RV on my parents property is if I pay them $21,500 to modify our septic system to hook up to the RV as well, and they want me to remove all wheels from the vehicle. Just make it illegal to dump on the ground, dont make it illegal to live in an RV because you think someones gonna dump sewage on the ground. (Which whos gonna do that anyway? That would absolutely reek outside of your camper) I cant live in my parents house because they dont have the room to accomodate my wife and I. So to cap, its illegal to live on the street, its illegal to set up an encampment in the woods, only option was to buy a camper to live in, which is also illegal apparently too. So I literally cant live anywhere legally without breaking some sort of law, so as I said, live in it anyway. Its beyond disgusting that its literally illegal to be poor. You're not allowed to fix your life up unless you own a home or apartment.

The way to make housing more affordable is to allow for legit ways to do tiny housing/RV living. They don't seem to want to give you any way to save money or get up in life. If it helps there are often times rv parks that do monthly rentals and it is 300-400 a month with full hookups.

As a home builder I can tell you if water is dripping and there's no snow on the roof and it's cold out and it's not raining. Your roof is not leaking it's condensation.. moisture runs from heat and runs too cold. Then it freezes then it melts then I tricks down

Fiberglass cavity insulation for metal buildings is good. With only one layer of plastic vapor barrier on the interior only. You only want a vapor barrier not a vapor membrane. The condensation needs to escape outside slowly in a vapor state. Spray foam is too tight.

Not going to lie though once I had my drain pipe installed I just hoped it would work like I had designed because if it didn't I was going to have to rip open drywall and re-do it.

That's a fair question! I won the lottery...Just kidding. I have a digital marketing agency that I run and it allows for location freedom and time freedom. I'm going to be creating videos about how to fund builds and projects but we borrowed to live this lifestyle. The one thing I did have going for me was that when we lived in Socal it was INSANELY expensive. Our rent was over 3500 a month! Moving into the RV was a massive savings and allowed us to save money. I don't have a helicopter yet and it has been really difficult. It seems like we're scraping by still but there's light at the end of the tunnel. We only have a couple more major items to buy like a hand railing that is not 2x4s for our upstairs and glass for our shower. We've been paying as we go along with living on the cheap. We didn't have dressers or closets and didn't even buy a couch til about a year ago (those things are insanely expensive!) I think it'd be helpful for me to show the not so glamourous side of things because we've really been living on the cheap and sacrificing throughout the whole process. I did a video about my business here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKtxqthnxsuvoqs.html Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching!
