Alright. After a week of trying to figure out how to get a permit and finding that it was going to cost me 2x $ the materials, and probably weeks if not more, I'm just going to build it.

A couple of weeks ago someone from the government had reported how the permit process here was so complicated and expensive that half of the buildings on the island are built without permits, leading to problems after hurricanes and earthquakes. I'm just going to lean into that. Ask for forgiveness right?
