Englishman Beats System, England Cries About It
Nodaisho:
True... if the government had record of it being out in the open, it would be noticed, and objected to. Possibly there would need to be testimony from neighbors or something?
clockworkjames:
I think alot of people might be looking past the fact that this dude BUILT A FUCKING CASTLE WITH HIS BARE HANDS. He could not have gotten help, had a job to do while building it, raised a kid, how the hell? Someone please tell me he took time off work or employed some people from a certain country who have come here for work. (Lots of them looking for work across here and not many could speak english (I know this, I sold them laptops) so they could not report it to the authorities)

Not quite as weird/impressive as the legendary Coral Castle.

Ah. Well, er. That would make sense. Sorry if I stepped on your toes, Linds.
(but how would they enforce that?)

Yeah, Slick got it right. And it's ok. Basically, they didn't word the law right, so the guy found a loophole (that may or may not work out well for him). I'm guessing they'd enforce it in the way they meant it to - if they don't think your house fits with the law and someone contests to it, you have to tear it down. Which would have happened long before this guy's house was finished if it hadn't been hidden behind the massive wall of hay. By changing the law to force the house in question to be in plain sight, no one else can get away with doing the same thing and making the excuse that soandso did it.
Did this guy have a house on the land in the first place? If so, why not tear down his old house and convert it back to greenspace? I have no idea how this whole land thing works out as I don't live there.
