Are there code or zoning restrictions that prevented you from doing that?
KC, I had to be careful how I did things.. I wont go into all of it, but for trailers and new construction, you have to jump thru hoops, but...... remodeling is another story. By checking with the utility companies first and finding out what they required, I managed to avoid all the pitfalls. Thus when I called them to come turn on the utilities (gas, electric, water) they didn't have a problem and didn't require a permit from the parish (county). Different parishes have different building codes but our parish is lenient on remodeling. There might have been a shuck-n-jive pulled a time or two.
