I wish your county and the State of Tennessee would get their act together and clarify WHY you are not allowed to live in your Amish Cabin. As long as it's a safe structure and keeps you safe, on your land, why would anyone care that you live in it ? I'm very impressed with what you have done with your land and your positive approach 👍 thank you for sharing your journey

Tennessee isn't the only state that has these rules, Many counties and municipalities all over the country have similar laws. For the most part it's really because they want site built structures that are constructed according to THEIR zoning rules, for which you have to apply for permits and pay them thousands of dollars. And once that structure is up they get to automatically reappraise the value of the property and significantly increase your taxes. It has nothing to do with concern for your safety. Its all about money and control.

Bad comments? That makes no sense. You two are doing just fine. Pigs. Pigs are easy to raise. You can buy a piglet for 50 to 200 depending on what you want. IPPs would fit you great. Feeder piglets go for 1 to 200 dollars. They graze on grass so you don't have to feed them as much. Makes the extra cost pay for itself.

No one said anything about "Haters". Just folks with different points of veiw which is just part of normal life. Living in an echo chamber is far more detrimental to your health than folks voicing their opinions. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. Instead of being so judgemental, try being more accepting of the fact that not everyone will see things from your point of view. Doesn't make them wrong or haters, simply makes them human.

Be real careful in Tennessee. It's not what it once was. I'm so glad I left in 2019 and the state is going to the liberal with all of 4 areas that actually have money. The rest is dirt poor and mostly what you don't hear is the drug problems everywhere. I'm not trying to be negative.

Challenge the law? Write your own law or bill, or an ammendment to the existing law, get the signatures you need, get your representatives involved and press them until you get it passed, help others who find themselves in the same predicament? People should be allowed to do, put, build and live how they chose on their own property as long as the dwellings are safe! Just my opinion! I live in Oregon and they are far to controlling-state and county! I might just consider moving to Tennessee, it looks beautiful!

When planning your dream house; you should think hard about building it on a basement if you haven't already done so. Great storage out of the weather and potential living area. My mother-in-law's parents lived in their basement for a couple of years as they built their house and built up their funds to continue. You could even put your water tanks down there and not worry about them freezing. Also, since your property is hilly, this gives you options on where you can put your house. I moved to the south a few years ago and I really miss having a basement.
