I wasn't aware there was a minimum building size so I went ahead and purchased a cottage package from home hardware. I intended on building the cottage myself with the help from some friends, but I've come across some contractors that I trust and might be able to trade cottage time for their services. Good luck with your plans! James I would definitely say to find out what is acceptable and build to that.

I am going to start this process next year to build on an island in Ontario. It sounds like I'll be dealing with a lot of the same issues as you've had. I'm going to build exactly 1000 square feet to meet the minimum requirements. It seems like a chicken and egg thing. Do you spend the time and money to get the design & plans done only to be told to change them or do you try to find out what will be acceptable and build to that? It seems pretty hard to figure out exactly what would be accepted. Any advice on the order to do things? Are you using a contractor or building yourself? I feel your pain.

When you document your progress it could be a great resource for others who want to do the same thing. Sounds like a lot of work, but I’m sure it will be worth it.

That way people who are interested in following your progress can see all of those posts together without having to sort through other unrelated posts.

So I hope it is useful as well as interesting. It will be a lot of work especially for a novice like myself, but I'm looking forward to it.
