I remember there was something along the lines that the trailer had to be moved 50' a year. Cant be left in one place longer than that. This is because people would build over and around the trailer. Decks, bunkies etc.

Varies from place to place. Most Townships now are tightening up those regs so people can't exploit them.

To the OP, if your considering a piece of land do not take armchair advice about building. Before purchasing a land you need to find out online or in person with the township such land is on of bylaws on what you can and cannot build. I've been down this road and can tell you every township will have their own set of by-laws. Don't buy a piece of land until you are aware of building by-laws. There are ways around some by-laws but I will not ill advise you how to go about that. You don't want to buy a piece of land and find out you can't build what your wanting to, and be stuck.

Hey Goosesniper, thanks for the reply. Where did your buddy order kit from? Was it that easy to put together?

Just wanted to thank everyone for their replies very much appreicated. Thats why this forum is amazing, everyone here takes the time to answer any questions or concerns. Feedbacks were great.

Im looking at minimum 10 acres of land most likely in North Bay or Long Point. Think I better get going on my home work regarding building codes, rules.
Id be looking at 2 bedroom cabin. Think it woild be a good investment for few years. Does any here on the forum know any builders that make them here in Ontario? All I can find are out west or East .

Thanks again

Cheers,
