I then sent that idea to the Md about 6 years ago but with more of a house finish on one end, and they said they probably wouldn't let it fly as well. My concrete guy managed something close, but then they made him put up doors and firewalls which split the space up way more than he liked and ruined his drive through the living room into the shop on his motorcycle concept. The trick is I found, buy enough land to get agricultural zoning, get a chicken and then pretty much do whatever you want.
