Plan B...

If the code enforcement stresses you out, consider a camper or two and hauling them over in the winter. As long as they are registerred they are not considerred structures for tax and building code purposes. If they are notput on the road you can modify them almost to your heart's content. By adding a small roof and a dehumidifier, they will last for decades.

Water supply and waste disposal issues may still be hassles. Also you might want to see how your neighbors feel about it for good-will purposes.

Never inspect a used camper when the temp.s are below freezing. You will not be able to tell if the floor is soft since bad wood usually contains extra moisture and whe frozen will not flex much more than good wood.
