ADUs will be legal, by-right, state-wide starting in February.

At the ends of the buildings as I posted above, count the ribs which are in 1 foot increments.  30 rib wide building is a 30 footer. 

BUT I still understand the point that most people made, these are not concrete/stick built structures with conventional building methods, and it is owner/operator, and it's a volatile industry, and its 50min from the Gatlinburg hotspot, and the main house is a double wide, etc.I guess my dream would be that an owner that wants to live and work in one place can buy this property, live in the main house and self manage the property.

30-year fixed investment loans are pretty widely available, there are even some 40-year terms out there where the first 10 years are interest only.

Assuming the ditch is a foot wide that's almost 14 yards of dirt, which is a full size dump truck worth of material. 

Go with a base about 2 feet wide or so,  all around, then lift out with your shovel, maybe put on a tarp and slide them where needed..

Its not widely covered but Wright in the 2nd half of his life was completely consummed with the challenge of providing low-cost and beautifully designed homes to the countries working class.

We have this approximately 4 in wide “trim” along the perimeter of the room.

I am an active builder in downtown Charleston SC and talk about small lots and roads only 20 feet wide logistics to build are brutual..

JD, I'd agree about cat pee.....it has something in it that will make you see Jesus, even with a respirator....But that house that had 9 dogs locked inside of it had this beautiful wide-plank flooring, Ponderosa Pine...unbelievably gorgrous.....I had it sanded once and got about 50% of the smell, twice, maybe 75 %....third time got 95%.Primer/paint did little.....finally had to have the walls and ceilings skim coated with new texture...throughout the entire almost 3000 SF house.
