Hey--do the AMISH HOMES in Pennsylvania "meet code"???

This may verge on thread drift. Not my intention to go off on a tangent.

I have always had a nagging suspicion the Amish were considered a great buffer around certain secret continuity of government sites in the PA area.

Peaceful. Not apt to be knuckledragging ne'er-do-wells.
Maybe NC just doesn't have a large enough COG necessity.

Anyone relinquishing their private property voluntarily will be a win from the government's point of view.

They would love to put people in cubicle apartments. Provide 3 hots and a cot.
You know "you'll own nothing and be happy"...

Going to be honest, the gov can say what it will. Those who are not willing to put up with the bs will get the materials that the Amish brought, "purchased so they don't have to haul them home". Then they will find a well hidden nook on their property and take care of business.

And if no hidden nook, then they'll build a shed to store their generator and other equipment in. That shed will be really well insulated and have really sturdy shelves along the walls. To become beds when interfering pitas are not around to interfere because they are all cozy and tucked away in their warm homes.

And neighbors will help each other so that those who physically can't do the actual building of these sheds can be provided for.

Sometimes you just have to let that middle finger attitude fly, with a big smirking grin.

Another thought occurred to me this morning--

ASHEVILLE was out of power for weeks, in the hardest-hit areas.
They only got their WATER turned on THIS PAST WEEK--so about 8 WEEKS without running water.

By the logic of these NC officials, every home in Asheville should have been condemned and its residents put out on the streets.

True, but Ashville is filled with liberals...they get a pass.

Spoke like a real adult. Plenty of places to dump a useless eater in that 'war zone'.. Its sad, these folks really have more inportant and pressing things to worry about , that they have to deal with these gvt useless eaters serving no purpose and causing more hardship instead of providing solutions which is what they were esssentially hired to do. Seems quite a few 'public servants' have forgotten just who they are paid by and whom they work for. I agree with someone above, time to put them in tents and see how they like it......

They govern with the "assent of the governed."

But what if there is not assent?

True they could make your life hell - but prison is considerably warmer than a tent.

There is not much beyond that they can do - and they know it. And if the prisons are full...

Prisons don't even need to be full. They don't want anymore public shaming to hit them. All it would take is one good video of them forcing a family into tents instead of a well built shed, during freezing temps, and they know they would lose their jobs. They would become the shunned outcasts by most of their community on top of everything else.

The problem is catching them on video. So if I had to do it, I'd likely add a few battery powered cameras to the setup. Good thing I'm already looking at some solar and battery powered cameras.

I hope so.

I plan on calling Samaritan's Purse and Hope for Crisis (the outfit that's been providing donated RV's) to check into the truth of this; can't do that until Monday.

I hope your news is true, rob0126. Last time I saw this video is was about how the people are not being allowed to occupy the houses, and since then I've heard reports (see post 60) the local officials for roads have had police out blocking roads so that RV's can't be driven on them, saying they may not be "safe" because they haven't "certified" that they are safe.

Haywood County doesn't surprise me. I just moved away from there.

I was in the middle of a tiny home project when the huricane hit. Mine is undamaged and ready to move.
Its built to code and ready to hook up: it takes RV type connectors. 8x16 on a trailer.

Its in Waynesville. It would need to moved immediatly.

I'll make a good deal to any fellow TBK'ers.

This was before Building codes and FEMA. Can someone please explain to me why: if we have the Army Corp. of Engineers and the National Guard we still need FEMA?

It might give the county boys pause if they got a letter detailing their address and a picture of their home. Unless they're stone stupid, they'll get the message.

Oh, a nice physical follow up in a few days would be a good boost.

I lay odds it already happened and they just doubled down as a result...

As far as I know these sorts of what now are considered "primitive cabins" are still available for rent from the Appalachian Trail Club. If you decide to rent one be warned. You may find you have a black bear for a neighbor or a snake or two in the chimney.

The PATC cabins I've used have been solidly built and wouldn't be surprised if they last a hundred years or more unless fire or neglect takes them.
