We saw, at the end of a dirt road at the very edge of Spur, an object that seemed to be a tall tool shed. And when we investigated we discovered that it was a SMALL HOUSE, newly constructed, probably with a footprint of no more than 100 square feet. And it rested on a small trailer. The owner, a young guy in camies with a boonie hat on his head, with a huge truck and a lot of dogs, was outside, working in his lawn. We had to wonder where those dogs lived-- surely not in the house with him, because the house was smaller than some sheds I've seen in backyards to store garden equipment. I spoke to him from the safety of my car, and learned that several people had driven by to gawk at his small house, and he wasn't very happy about the attention. I apologized and got us out of there.
Denizens of Spur appear to be unfettered by zoning restrictions or code enforcement. You can have your own private junkyard just a few blocks from the middle of town!
