Planning a tiny home cabin, looking for input

LDennis24:
Adding a window would be very simple if you can weld or find a welder. You can even weld bars on the window to prevent theft and bear damage etc.

YouTube is a great source of info.

Unfortunatly.

Not quite sure what you mean, do you mind clarifying? I intend to permit anything legally requiring a permit, if that's what you're getting at.  :dunno:

Probably the other direction than what was being hinted at, but I know from limited experience that you're not going to get very far in any county in washington state once you plan to spend the night in it. This isn't really a free country. (It's free as long as you do everything the way they want, don't do anything they haven't thought of yet, and pay their fees.)

JimmyHoffa:
Yeah, even most of the building inspectors can't keep up with all the constant additions to the codes. If the structure is 'permanent', it can be a real tough time before you even buy a piece of lumber. All the input for rainwater, set backs, wetlands, snow, fire, energy, etc. If it's on wheels or skids you can bypass a few things.

Condensation is a huge issue with containers.
