Perhaps you are lucky enough to live in an area completely without building codes, but I doubt it. [Similarly, some are lucky enough to live in areas with constitutional gun laws, too, but most don't. Even if you live freely now, you remain succeptible to zoning boards and state legislatures.] Fact is, there are in many places laws on what you can build on your own land and what you need to sell it as a house. Some places even have laws about the litres used when you flush ---you can't sell a house with old toilets. These are not voluntary (e.g., CC&R) regs, nor are they anti-fraud provisions, they are laws backed by guns which prohibit certain private actions. Unconstitutional taking.
You don't get it, do you? I said there are no laws requiring me to have anything in my house. There aren't. Please read more carefully next time. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
