From what I hear from contractors in my area, permits are still backlogged and it takes forever to get inspections to move projects forward quickly.

That’s a major issue with two friends getting driveways installed… absolute shite show over 2year!! ATMs, ice machine driveways have all gone up in less then 2 weeks and two friends been waiting in Galveston county for over 2 years for these mfers to approve construction or some shite.

People have NO idea how expensive it is to get a building permit and what those costs do to the cost of building anything. I spent an hour with a local inspector Thursday because I am planning on building a timber frame RV cover with trees on a lot we own and convincing the county that me using those trees is far more sensible than putting them in a landfill. It is fully permissable to build a "house" on wheels and truck it 500 miles and place it on concrete blocks but try to use some southern yellow pine from your place for board and batten siding, a practice as old as europeans being in the south, and watch the county employees have a stroke.
