Building Inspector

E-mailed the building inspector yesterday about any restrictions on building an earth bag house and am expecting a reply sometime today (hopefully). We'll see how it goes with this guy. --Aimee

Purpose

This is our attempt to prepare and educate anyone interested in building a home themselves in Mercer County KY. Over the next several months my wife and I will be documenting our experiences and pitfalls with local officials,building materials, and building plans. Our hope is that our readers find this to be an invaluable source of information and can learn from our mistakes and make their own(then come back and tell us about them). We would like to make this an A-Z guide but I am sure new regulations will be passed soon after we complete our house. So take luck in your building adventures and enjoy reading ours.
