Cover the roof so the work you already did stays good, set up a tent inside to stay, and work on the garden and landscaping for videos until you get approved. We'll still watch the videos. You have an amazing personality and good vision to go along with your artistic nature. Don't lose hope!! We're all sending you good vibes!! 👍💜

[@maryboorman8979]

Yes above all don't lose hope! Secret of success if constancy of purpose - that is the saying that drove me on in building my dream log lodge on a remote island. I can fully relate to your dream home. HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY - have a strategy - use your amazing vision to foresee a positive outcome - expectation! Good luck you deserve it both of you! :-)

[@donaldcowick4280]

Excellent advice.

[@denisewilson8367]

Put a plywood roof on the house over the rafters to help protect what you have. Pitch your tent inside the house & work those gardens for free food, in the meantime fight for your right to continue building. And film making those gardens. I believe this is your best option for now. And you are there to keep anyone from destroying your beautiful home while nyou try to get permission from the counsel to continue. The land owner (your friend) will help you keep your dreams alive & help you fight the courts to continue. I eish our voices could help also. Until you get your approval, we will watch the gardens grow.

[@stradaveriusfiddle]

That is the approach that I was thinking also. Spain is the home of Pablo Picasso, who is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. There must be a way to apply for a hearing for a consideration of exemption. Tell them that it will only be used as an art studio, and not be used as a residence, and that you won’t ever even have a bed inside it. The main thing is to find a way to preserve your work, and hopefully finish it eventually. If it was mine at this point, I would go back as soon as possible, with a helper, with about 20 gallons,..(whatever it takes)..of paint or varnish, to coat the wood of the roof framing. At the stage where it is, you might even ask the property owner if they would agree to just call it an outdoor barbecue/dining area. At the very least it should be preserved for something like that. Don’t give up on it, there’s time, if you can develop a good relationship with the people who deal with it at the city/county office that handles it.

[@Dakiniwoman]

Obviously you never lived in Spain...

[@stradaveriusfiddle]

@@Dakiniwoman Yes, but I have been ordered, by a notoriously overzealous building inspector, to have a similar size building torn down on my property. If I had totally panicked, I could have just followed his baseless orders. Without going through details, my situation had more differences than similarities to this, but it is true that wherever the situation is, there will be people who are reasonable, but usually it’s the minority who complain, and are against new ideas. I’m just saying that with the extraordinary work that Huub invested in his project, it is worth trying to be equally creative and relentless in exploring everything that can be done to at least preserve his existing accomplishment.

At the very least, in the meantime, while you wait to proceed legally, protect what you have built. Cover as much as possible with tarps. Try asking if you can protect the roof structure by adding a heavy-duty tarp that is substantially secured from wind to further protect what is under the roof structure from the elements. At least until you possibly can continue. Cover the window and door openings with tarps. Ask the authorities if you can do this to forestall any weather damage to what you have built.

[@janlinson7232]

I will keep you in my positive thoughts and prayers, that you win, and get to continue....take still shots, as well as, continue videoing of all stages and details, of everything; this documents all that you have done, that is secure and sound on the structure. If you know of any trusted carpenter, &/or contractors who can give you honest answers, about what inspectors would check, to complain about, it might help, with completion, and hopefully, you can get an accepted stamp of approval, and just pay fines and taxes. As long as the abode continues to prove to be sound of foundation, and all total of structure is weather safe, and built, to be safe, & functionable for health regulations , as with plumbing, septic system,( such as distance, from potable water sources, etc. & other owner's potable water sources, and septic systems,)l think you should be allowed to continue! There needs to be adjustments to the laws, in a lot of counties, states, and countries. Wishing you safety, good health, and some miracles, to let you continue to finish your unique creation, an get to enjoy living there. Hopefully, a petition signed by a lot of people can help, and hopefully people, in various fields of legal matters, can find a way to help you win🤗😉 oh yeah, keep duplicates of all your photos and videos, locked up safe in a trusted place, or with a trusted fire & flood safe box/ vault; where it can be a documented back-up 😉

We have to do this at the city level, county level, special districts, state, and federal levels.

If you have authority in the US, then you'd know that we can't build anything in the US without permits, similarly. What are you referring to?

[@pacjam418]

@@drivethrupoet that’s what I wrote

[@cinnamonblack6263]

There are actually several places in the US that you can build without a permit, especially if the area is under a certain amount of square footage. Furthermore, I have personally overseen several builds that started without a permit and were later able to get one and then continue building. This situation is very sad that they are not allowing people to build on their own property because a company did illegal business. In essence punishing everyone. Very sad indeed.

[@Babyshoes777]

This might sound crazy, but I’ve had a overbearing nitpicking neighbor too. Turns out she was just really lonely. Maybe you can find out why this neighbor is against your project. Maybe it’s jealousy bc their house needs work, or they feel like you shouldnt get something for nothing. Sometimes talking to them and helping them relieves their anger. I’m not saying this will work for your situation, but there is something to the old proverb, kill them with kindness. Nobody likes being an a**hole to a good person.

[@uski]

Sometimes it is more complex. For instance maybe a neighbor wants to sell their property soon and for some reason assumes that the value of their property is going to get diminished if someone lives nearby. Some people also like the feeling of power, whatever it takes to get it, including being extremely annoying to others. Others might have been blocked in their projects due to the same laws before, respected them, and don't want to have a neighbor that doesn't, it seems unfair to them. Plenty of reasons (good or bad, I'm not saying). PS: I just read that Huub is not a local. Some locals don't like strangers, this is valid everywhere, sadly. I can absolutely imagine a local doing this just because it's a stranger

[@genevievemurray7743]

I’d add removable wool stuffed canvas panels (like for yurts) in the missing wall gaps that are clamped in place and tie a canvas roof and totally move in. Use yurt type padded rugs for over the rafters for temporary insulation (with luck become permanent later) Clip in windows and a retracting spring hinged door. All extras should be nail and screw free, easily removable and weather proof when in use. An added project could be the construction of these pads using discarded clothing which is how furniture removalist blankets are sometimes made. The addition of dense wool felt or canvas to the weather side of these rugs should render them weather proof.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Use moving blankets (where I am at, harbor freight has sales at least five times a year and moving blankets 78”x82” are only $7), could easily cover that roof with $75 worth of moving blankets as temporary insulation and a waterproof canvas tarp or two….

[@Medietos]

How is it possible to build without nails and screws, please? Glue and wood-conjunctions, yes, but...? You mean even putting in windows and doors without nails/ screws??

[@genevievemurray7743]

@@Medietos if you attach retractable spring bolts to the 4 corners of the windows and drill holes in the existing frames then the windows are easily removable on demand. Even a slide bolt would do it. I’m not saying it would be completely draft proof but it would be liveable and rubber draft flaps could be attached to the removable window edges to reduce drafts.

The structure has value as it's up and maybe zoning can be contacted as well as permits..try again. Plead your cause. It can also be a heritage property. The neighbor is not a major but jealous problem. Focus and like other indicated, cover the roof and windows with PVC plastic while you vet your resolve. Great success.

[@justinflownow]

Look into the theory and practice of “common law” , “Natural Law” , “Magna Carta”, and see if Spain has a Constitution much like the United States.

That freeman crap isn't going to fly and it'll just piss off the police. Also, it's not a "big" movement, nor is it brewing. Most people laugh at the people that think they aren't driving, but travelling and thus don't need a licence or insurance. The real issue is that the police shouldn't be stopping anyone from building, it's the planning department that is supposed to be the ones to issue those kinds of orders.

I lived in multiple countries and so far I never heard of a place where you can just build a house anywhere without any sort of permit. And in general there are building laws and regulations (electrical codes, building codes, ...) that apply to the entire country anyway. If someone knows of a country where you can build without respecting any rule let me know. What we do have however, is countries with corruption where you can bribe the local authorities so they give you all the permits you want.

Gofundme as well. We live in a society where so many can’t afford a home. I get they’re worried it would be subpar but if a person can build a home with their own two hands it should be applauded not denied.

[@braeburn2333]

Central planning committee's members are usually middle class people who can't conceive that anyone would want to live in or have to live in low cost housing. They pass laws and require people to get their permission to build even a dog house. The end result is that its simply not possible build your own home which is within your means, on your own land, unless you are a middle class person. This is because its illegal to build a low cost house almost anywhere you go. Isn't it convenient that the middle class folks only have to live next to other middle class folks because of the laws and regulations and financial firewalls put in place by the middle class central planning committees. What about people in the lower income brackets? Oh, thats right, they aren't allowed to live anywhere anymore are they? Or they have to work two or three jobs just to make rent each month. Hmmmm... do you think that these housing regulations and beaurocracies might have an alterior motive behind them besides safety? Hmmmm.
