I'd be curious too. I'd ask any neighbors who are aware of of the place what they might know. Did you ever see any sub's trucks - could ask one of them. Or did he do everything himself? Ask some of the contractors in your community? Ask the sheriff's dept.(do they patrol that road?).

Builder young, middle aged, old? Wear a Turkish towel On his head? Or an Italian table cloth? Call Homeland Security! Maybe rent a couple dogs - a cadaver sniffer and a bomb sniffer?

Couldn't you get some info from your county recorder's office?

If I was doing something illegal, I sure wouldn't build a building with ono windows close to a fairly well traveled road.

It's strange, report it to homeland security as unusual and suspicious, and move on. They will look into it.

Bedrooms by code need egress windows.
Or they may have had to build 'something' on the property to keep approvals/permits from expiring. I've done that.

Dude, this is PPOT. I suggest you call 911 and Homeland security immediately, and take your M4 over there and strap it on your back and get on the Ducati and get over there post haste. Stand guard until they get there. Oh and get a lawyer just in case.

No, bathrooms need either a window 10% of the floor area with 5% opening or a fan switched on with the light. The items being referred to as dryer vents are larger than the typical dryer vent and in fact could be fan vents. They are at the right height.

I'll retract my statement about commercial. A dream garage does fit the building.

You can find out exactly who owns the house.

Used to be a thing on TV here in Australia about terror threats and its catch phrase was; 'don't be alarmed, be alert'. Perhaps just report it to the authorities. You just never know.

Looks like lightweight garage doors, built it himself, not a commercial facility

The guy who built it was a kind of pudgy middle-aged white dude. I assumed when I saw him that he was an engineer. He just had that look (I spent my first career as an engineer, so I can say that ). He had contractors put up the trusses and the roofing, but I think he did the rest himself.

I don't care what's going on there, so I'm not going to do any investigating myself. But I'd feel pretty bad if the place shows up in a news story related to terrorism, or drug production, or mass murder and I hadn't said anything.
I'm thinking of calling the local FBI office and saying, "Umm, you guys know about this place?" and then backing out of it.
