Actually have someone interested in buying the place to build a full size home, have not talked $$$ yet though. Cattle man also interested, but would hate to do that to the neighbors.....I really need to get a certified appraisal first but would hate to sell, its just right up road from where I grew up. Also getting harder to find this much land in one tract anymore. Given the way the world is going may regret selling someday unless I just have to.
Pretty much decided to wait on the cabin till I have better idea what future plans are for sure. Couple of financial issues that could change plans still up in the air. Could very well decide to get a nice class "a" rv and just hang out on the farm spring, summer and fall then south for winter.
I could also build the cabin dry and patch up the old house bathroom enough to at least claim I use it and just build outdoor shower and simple outoor kitchen. Might even enjoy that. Really just wanted to try simple offgrid living anyway thats how this all got started.

I've been reading up a bit on the eloo.
maybe it would be a good alternative. As I understand, they're higher than a composting toilet, but a good deal less than septic
supposedly odor free and water free and you very rarely have to empty it.

Question has come up maybe someone knows the answer: At what point is a cabin considered to be dry ? What I mean is, if it is minimally plumbed for say a kitchen sink but not attached to a water line or septic line by definition it is dry.....but if there is say a 200 gallon refillable (rainwater or trucked in) tank and waste into another portable tank is that still a dry cabin and would their be any inspections required ?

I don't think there is any legal definition of a dry cabin in the codes. If a particular jurisdiction chooses to allow dry cabins in certain circumstances, they will have to define the circumstances.
But dry to me means no plumbing, sinks, pipes, tanks, anything. As soon as you have anything that can accommodate water you have a water disposal need. Dry means no need to dispose of water because there isn't any. But your county might define it differently.

The Sewage Brd of Health guy I spoke with in West Virginia said non pressurized water going into sinks shower etc...so if you poured it out of a jug it would be ok to pour water onto the ground...now I didn't ask what about a raised water tank but the though ran through my mind.
