Sounds like a plan.  ::)

All you need now is to dig a hole for your plumbing.

Almost everyone builds a home for himself here at some point..... I guess these are cultural differences.

Best thing you can do.
Its my dream to build my own home. Substantial plots here are very expensive and quite hard to find.
Im currently clearing an acre of land for a customer who has permission for 3 houses and the plots are going to be worth £120,000 each :-\

Same here everyone has a cabin.

The trick is build the fucking thing before you start worrying about sewer and water.

Americans seem to be incapable of imaging a world that doesn't revolve around suburbs, suv's and starbucks.

The one this is to insure the land is properly surveyed and marked. The legal costs of any possible errors can be more costly than the land itself.

Whats a Suburb?  My house was built before the Civil War out of Heart Pine, hand hammered Iron nails and good old Slave Labor and the nearest Starbucks is over an hour away.  Fuck off.

Canada doesn`t have anything good at all in my opinion.  Who wants to live in a Cabin in the Snow?  Not me.  I`ll take mosquitoes and heat over snow and misery.

I don't know man.... long and sometimes severe winters can be a pain but personally I appreciate the lack of nasty bugs (not that I would be scared of them)  ;D

It doesn't get very cold in a lot of parts. The cool weather and clean environment provide awesome views like this one.



The lens on my DSLR broke so I can't take the best nighttime shots to share with you guys, but I can go on my patio or chill on my porch and look up to see stuff like this on the regular. Not to mention, the hundreds of billions of stars and galaxies that twinkle super vividly. 8)

I went to nova scotia once for about 2 days and it was miserable. But western Canada is quite pretty. Vancouver was  overrun with junkies and bums though. That was 10 years ago, don't know if it's changed
