   Well, I had the ACTUAL county Inspector in there
August 25th with me, and showed him the place. I
specifically ASKED him about permits, and whether they
required the work be done by a licensed contractor, or
whether I could do it myself, and he said by yourself.
So, I suppose if I do the work RIGHT, it'll be ok.
LOL. This IS a country area, too. He had no problem
with what I wanted to do, when I mentioned it. All he
said was get a SINGLE permit to cover EVERYTHING I
wanted to do : roof, electrical, plumbing,
modifications, etc. It would be cheaper for one permit
than coming back for multiple permits. I don't know
how long the permit actually LASTS, whether
indefinite, 6 months, a year, etc. I don't think I
will do all the work at once, can't afford to. Will
only do the minimum required to get what I need done,
done. And the rest can wait awhile. 
  So I doubt I'll have any problems, but I will
probably get estimates from a licensed contractor
who's done the work before, and if it's not
outrageous, then I will get 'er done! :)
