[Cob] no building code areas

[Mary Hooper]

 I don't know about your present location, but the thing that would make my
decision for me is the presence of chiggers. They have them in Missouri and
I expect Kentucky..
I think you might want to check on County web sites in Missouri to confirm
that there are no building codes..... that is tornado country isn't it? I
think you'll find there ARE local codes.
We are trying to find a place closer to the offspring than Mitchell County
NC (low snow winters, reasonable summers, no chiggers) and have not found
anyplace better than here..kids and grandkids will move eventually
anyway...... Mary in NC

Well, trying to build cob in an area with tight building codes is
unfathomable to me. I am trying to figure it out, but...

Moving does present issues, however, I have very little support resources in
my home area anyway. All my family lives out of state, and I am an only
child. Either way, I am going to have to be "social sue" in order to find
some help. (Though being a female, and having kids, I do tend to find very
nice helpful souls out there ~smile~ )

I took the quiz on FindYourSpot.com a few times, and generally come up with
the same answers each time. Washington, Kentucky and Missouri. With Missouri
have no building codes, it is a particular interest. Plus the land is
cheaper - in Kitsap County it is about $10K an acre, so four acres is just
over $40K. This does NOT include any power, septic, phone, etc. Bummer, eh?

Any advice? Suggestions?
