Hi,
I am very young to start doing this, 16, but I am hoping to build a small summer camp. We already have this great lakefront property that is large and we do have electricity and a septic tank but no camp. We have been using an airstream camper for many years hooked up to the plumbing but we are in a very nice neighborhood on the lake and our trailer is looking very trashy and cheap. I live with my grandparents and they are to old to start this project. They own the camp but the lot is left to the 4 children my mom and aunts, uncles. I think that the family would also enjoy and camp and the R.V. is getting tight and old. My question is: Is this a good Idea? I am thinking maximum size to be 20' wide X 40' long with a small loft. What am I looking at for cost? Also could some one fill me in on waterfront regulations? Can I cut down trees and make a little beach area? Thanks for all your help everyone
