Pennsic house

[cellio]

Somebody at Sunday dinner (can't remember who now) asked about the little house I use for Pennsic. Here is a link. The pictures are out of date; we added some decoration this year. I have the new pictures scanned now (yeah, actual film -- no digital camera yet), but I haven't updated the site yet.

Whoa. That's great. I love the stone trimwork and the tile roof.

(I wonder, is it required to meet the building codes for a house? For any state it's transported to?)

Building codes apply to structures that are attached to the ground. They don't apply to stuff like this -- just as well, as the problem of inspecting ren fairs, SCA events, boy scout gatherings, and whatnot would be cumbersome otherwise. (The Coopers, who own the land that Pennsic is held on, enforce *private* requirements on structures, but that's because of liability issues. I made sure that they approved the plans before anything got built.)

State governements (through, e.g. PennDOT) can enforce regulations about stuff you're transporting on the roads, but the regulations are mostly about size, weight, and keeping stuff attached to the vehicle. Since the plan here is for this to live at Cooper's Lake, I didn't worry all that much about those. (In fact, right now it exceeds the height limit for PA.)
