Hey y'all, Justin and Lilly here,

If you are new or have been watching us build for a while, support our build and engage with us by leaving comments, hitting like on our videos, and Subscribing to our channel!

Last week we completed the subfloor which was a huge milestone for our off grid house build.

We also received some shocking news from the County after applying for another extension to our Temporary Occupancy permit.

We were told they can extend our permit for one more year, but after that we will be kicked off our land!

We did not know, and no one made us aware of (even though we asked), about the two year temporary occupancy limitation in the Zoning ordinance for our area. 

The two year limit applies to temporary structures, like our RV.

This really puts us in a bind with our house build because we are not going to be finished and ready to move in within a year.

We set a meeting with the county to discuss our options. They told us the ordinance is not variable and there would be no exceptions to allow us to continue living in the RV for more than two years.

Our only option involves getting a permanent structure that we can live in while we finish building the house.

This means we would have to buy a mobile home and get it setup as a permanent structure on our property.

After praying about the situation and lots of discussion, we decided that the extra space would be beneficial to our family. We are trying to turn this into a win.

We have a year to figure this situation out, Iso we will be putting out more videos in the future to show how we work through this situation alongside building our off grid house.

We really appreciate everyone's support and hope that you'll continue to join us throughout the rest of the journey!
