=== What We Can Build Without Permits (01:20) ===

[00:00:00]  I said, look, we need apprentice and stewardship housing.
[00:00:03]  I don't want to do something that's permitted because if I have to go through a special use permit, the community is going to go crazy because they're thinking we're building a university and there's going to be cars.
[00:00:13]  And you know, you just, so I said, I need to know what we can build without a permit.
[00:00:19]  I said, well, give us 30 days.
[00:00:20]  All right.
[00:00:21]  Well, at day 28, they called and said, we've got answers.
[00:00:23]  Good.
[00:00:24]  So they came down and I sat down and said, all right, here's what you can build without a permit in Augusta County.
[00:00:29]  You can build a farm building.
[00:00:31]  So, you know, a barn, shed, whatever.
[00:00:34]  You can build a treehouse.
[00:00:37]  Swiss family robbers, if you got a big enough tree, you know, treehouse.
[00:00:43]  If it floats, a houseboat.
[00:00:45]  So one of the reasons to have a pond is to have water.
[00:00:48]  And we came this close to putting floating, you know, floating houses on the ponds.
[00:00:54]  So if it floats.
[00:00:56]  Number four, if it has a chassis, so like an RV.
[00:00:59]  Okay.
[00:01:01]  And number five is a hunt camp.
[00:01:03]  A hunt camp.
[00:01:05]  So we have the polyface hunt camp.
[00:01:08]  Now, interesting, it doesn't, the law doesn't say what you have to hunt.
[00:01:12]  So we have the polyface hunt camp.
[00:01:14]  We're hunting for the truth.
[00:01:19]  Genius.
