KIT, TREES on PROPERTY or CAMPER?????

[Murfster3]

I built a 32' x 40' pole barn and have a living space in it
the living space is roughly 11' wide by 24' long with a 5' x 7' bathroom, I also have a 8' x 10' scent free room for hunting clothes.
the pictures are from 1 year ago and I have bought a tractor and implements since so I have to build a implement shed this spring
which will be a lean to metal building 16'w by 40' l 10' high in the front and 7' in the rear.

Smiley, Get a 28 to 32 foot travel trailer. Build a roof over and extend the front part out about 12 feet. Depending on where the doors are, you can close in about 20 foot of the rear (in front) for a spare bedroom, closet and small bathroom for guests. The rest you could screen in for a nice bug free area.

That's an idea with legs! It would definitely extend the life of the travel trailer, provide more living space, it's bug resistant too. Shouldn't cost much to build, it would basically be a picnic shelter tall enough to get the trailer into. Low prop. taxes.

Water--the hot and cold running kind--seems to be the key to the solution.

A travel trailer sitting around and used off and on, could become a mouse hotel.

What about two 40' storage containers, and a 20' container. Put two side by side and the 20' in the back, and then make a roof over 20' to 40' for a covered patio/courtyard (or living area), and use the containers on each side as bedrooms+bathrooms, kitchen etc.

How about a low maintenance kit home?
After I built my steel building, I thought I would probably go this route If I ever build a house myself.

Murfster, that is GREAT.....How or DID you deal with the county for permits? I just got a simple "storage" building permit. Added the concrete floor a year later. It has no electricity other than solar/batteries.....and plumbing is 12V powered from water tanks.
Did you talk to anyone "official" about making it "livable"? I really like it. Thanks
