Well , It was one of those boring days today , so we decided to go for a ride and look at cottages / houses on lakes . Anyways , we found a really nice one on a lake in the same area that we have our camp . Started taking a look at it and the neighbour came over and said he ahd a key , so we took a look at the inside . Anyways , it's log on 2 sides , has cathedral ceilings with a nice loft up top , nice large bedrooms ( 2 of them) fair size kitchen and living room with huge picture window . The best thing about it , is the view of the lake . With a little bit of work , the property will be amazing . So anyways , we got home , talked about it ..... called up the guy , and just dropped a few bucks . :devil: Can't wait to start doing some work to it and fixing up the property . I took a bunch of pictures of it , so I'll try and upload them in a little bit . I'm happy today :devil: :devil:

1.5 acres with about 100 feet + of lake frontage . It's deep and rocky enough to do walleye fishing right from shore .

It's somethign we've been looking for , for a while . It's a piece of property with a ton of potential and the inside needs some finishing work , but as of right now it's going to be used as a cottage to get away from the city life . It's only 2 hours away from home ... we can drive right to the door , has electricity and a telephone :p but no running water . The lake that it's situated on , is about 15 miles long and has northern pike , walleye , perch, whitefish , large and small mouth bass and god knows what else . Can't wait till I'm all healed up and can start doing some work to it . Gunna be doing lots of fishing next sumemr thats for sure :D

damn 20 feet deep,sounds sick....any trout in there? how big is the lake neway?yea that house will look sweet in a couple of years,like ours....it was a old raggy shag fixer upper,now it is one of the nicest houses on the lake,i would say in the top 10...just gotta stop riding on the lawn and then are yard will be nice too,lol

maybe you can build a nice *** deck over it,fill in the rocks with concrete so they won't move and build a deck or something over it....very sweet

and it is true about the hockey games,i watched the Devils beat the stars at my lakehouse :macho Stanely Cup # 2 suckas:macho The lake is about 15 miles long but there isn't any trout . Many of the lakes within the area have trout though . I went fishing for Aurora Trout a few years ago . This fish is very protected and there are only about 5 lakes in north america that have this type of fish ( natural not planted / stocked) . The lake we fished on was only open for fishing for 3 days , you were not allowed motorized vehicles and no live bait . If you caught a fish , no matter what size it was you had to keep it and you were only allowed one . Nicest looking fish I've ever seen .

As for building the deck and pouring concrete , there are big fines if you do that . Laws up here prohibite you for pouring anything like concrete into a lake .... same as using barels for a dock ..... it's soemthing like a $25 000 fine and a maximum of 5 years in prison . They're strict on keeping our lakes clean up here .

And as for the hockey issue .... I'm going into a depression because of it . The days are getting shorter .... it's dark at 7PM now , and that's when I used to cuddle up on the couch and watch the game ..... this season I can't do that . Damn NHL !!!!

I do believe Mario is gunan hang his skates this year ..... as will many of the older players . This strike is going to kill the sport .

No, he never was a very physical player, but that's not where his skills lay. Look at his stats, watch him play, consider how he overcame cancer and came back to play hockey. Of course you'd have to get your head out of your *** to do those things. I don't think I saw anybody else play with an awareness of what's going on the ice like him.

and yes, it is getting late...

you make too many stupid statements to argue with you. I've watched him since 3 years before you were born... I hardly think he just stands in front of the net waiting for the puck. That giant sucking sound you hear is your head going back up your ***...

and now back to Quadstar's topic... his cottage. I don't wanna hear how my invite got lost in the mail! :blah:

09-29-2004, 09:18 PM
:rolleyes: *insider information* i got that from:cool: but since he has come back,what two,three years or w/e he is slow as ****,can't move the puck,and just waits for them to pass to him,he should have stayed owner and never came back.It was good for pittsburgh for a year but thats it.....anyway,like you said grumpy back to the subject....what is the name of the lake neway:)

Bart , once we get the palce all fixed up , you're more than welcomed to come try your luck at some of the best fishing ( if you like fishing) that you'll ever do in your life . Pops has a 20 lbs Northern Pike on the wall ..... mom has a nice Bass and well I got nothing yet . I did have a NICE walleye a few years back , but the damn thing got off the fish chain and swam away . Largest fish I've seen taken out of a nearby lake in the cottage area , was a 32lbs Northern Pike ....... caught by an older fisherman and he fought it for over an hour . Damn thing was wrapped around 3 times in the net he was so long.

The name os the lake that the cottage is on , is called Deschenes Lake .... french name .

As for the hockey subject , if you watched the World Cup of Hockey a few weeks ago , you seen mario set up and score some of the nicest goals . The man picked the puck out of the air .... the thing was a foot off the ice and he put it in the net . I think he lead the team with assists throughout the tourny . He really helped Team Canada make it onto the podium .

Thanks for all the comments guys . We had an appointment with the bank to get the money this morning ...... now we have to find a lawyer to get all the paperwork done . The damn lawyers are charging in and around $1500 to do the paperwork , and search to make sure there isn't any leans on the property . When we called the owner of the property lastnight to tell him we were buying it , he sounded a little surprised . I guess he just put it up for sale ( didn't have any signs up yet just word of mouth) and we were the first persons to go look at it . If all works out well , we should be able to take over possession in about a months time once the legal part is all over and done with .

As for the beer issue , the only American beer that I really only drink is Budweiser . I have tried other kinds but I can't remember the names . I also don't mind Corona .... but at Camp its mostly Budweiser , Canadian , Coors Light , and Labatt Blue . Once in a while I'll sneak a case of Corona in there but it's so damn expensive . And when the beer runs out , thats when the Crown Royal , Smirnoff and Sauza Tequilla comes out :devil: Nothing like sitting around a fire near the lake , listening to the loons , watching the stars and getting totally smashed with your buddies . :blah: :devil:

HAHAHAHA ..... I'll settle this .

Pot is still illegal depending on the situation . It is legal to have marijuana plants .... 3 of them and they can't be over 2 feet tall I believe .... no you can't grow fields of them .

You are allowed to have 30 grams in your possession as long as it is not wrapped for trafficing ( ie weighed , wrapped in tin foil or lil baggys ) .

You are allowed to smoke it as long as you do not share it with anyone .... then it becomes trafficing and that is a criminal offence .

Maximum fine an officer can give you , if he stops you and decides he's going to charge you with possession of weed , is $200 or $300 and they take it away from you , also it does NOT go onto your criminal record .

Medical marijuana is also available at the pharmacy if precribed by a doctor . My buddy has a grandmother that uses it for arthritis and for her eyes .... relieves the pain . I stopped by there one day with him and there she was smoking away .... :huh

I won't lie , when they "lagalized" it , everyone took advantage of the new regulations but now it's been over a year or so and it's like a new trend ... it wore off quickly . But it still pops up once in a while , while "relaxing" at the Ice Hut with my buddies or sitting around at someones camp relaxing . You just gotta play it smart and make sure you're with a good bunch of people .

When I was about 14 or 15 I was on some meds that I couldn't drink any alcohol while taking .... my doctor told me , he'd rather me smoke pot than drink and my dad said the same thing . Hell my dad grew up in the '60s he was in his late teens early 20s at the time . He knows what it's all about and he knows that I've done it . Act responsible and you wont get hurt .

I've never been charged with possession , but I have been with people that did get fines . It's really a small fine .... $300 is the maximum .... most cops will give you a $100 fine and take your weed away ( so they can go have their fun :rolleyes: ) . I've also seen a lot of cops just say to be careful and not cause any trouble . If you are driving a vehicle though , you will receive fines just like drinking and driving .... take your license away for a few years .


As for the baggy issue .... i meant like the lttle baggys ..... they don't say anything about sandwich size baggys . I don't recommend putting loose stuff in your pocket ...... it's hard to pick the lint out afterwards. :blah:

But to answers someones question .... yes there is a ton of places to ride . Everything from tight trails to fast.... i mean FAST fire roads. You do have to watch out for the unexpected Logging Truck comming around the corner , or the moose or bear standing in the center of the road . I'd never go riding out there by myself , cuz it's too easy to get off the road and end up hurt pretty badly and i GUARANTEE it would take a LONG time before anyone found you ....... roads and trails going all over the place . :D

Ya I'm located in Sudbury .... the cottage is 2 hours north of here . I can actually ride right from my door here at home , right to the cottage . It takes less than 2 hours because it's mostly all lake running . I met a few guys a couple years back that made it from about 20 minutes outside of town here and got up to the cottage in about 45 minutes . They were all running 700 or 800 cc sleds and were wide open , but it can be done in about an hour and 20 minutes .

I'm about 3 hours away from the Sault Ste Marie border . And yes Wawa has some incredible trails . My parents used to be on the governing body for snowmobiling here in Ontario back in the early 90's when sledding was a BIG thing . My mom has done the Women On Snow run that happens each year , and shes made it down to Eagle River Wisconsin with about 12 other ladies . My parents ahve ridden everywhere , from Wisconsin to the trails in Quebec and all over Ontario and Michigan . They say the best trails are here in my area and in Quebec ..... Quebec has litterally a 4 lane highway for sledding . You dont have to worry about someone comming around a corner either , because the traisl go in one direction only and they have banked corners ... it's like riding on a slot car track .

But yeah let me know if you ever come up this way .

Well we finally took possession of the new place on November 3rd and went up this past weekend to start moving our stuff from one cottage to the next ( they're about a 5 minute walk from eachother) . Well I couldn't really help with moving stuff but I took the camera along and snapped a few pictures .

Ya we had priced out building a log cabin before ..... way too much money . We were lucky when we found this one .... only 2 of the 4 walls are log though .... the front and rear are pressed board . All the logs came off the property that the cottage is built on . The previous owners spent 8 years building it to the condition it is in right now . Still lots of work to be done though .

We're drilling a well and putting in a field bed next summer so we'll have running water . Mom wants to put in a shower and a jacuzzi tub . The floors need to be finished ... right now, you keep your shoes or boots on . Then a few of the walls gotta be done . It'll take a few years , but she'll be nice once it's all finished . We're also getting rid of the wodstove and gunna go with a Oil burning stove ... less hassle .

Nah I'm not moving there .... too far for me to travel to work everyday . LOL 2 hours one direction is too far for me . In a year from now , my parents are moving out there ( once we get water put in ) . I'll be staying in town here , and renting a house .

Hey man .... don't worry about chit like that ... I know you weren't . I can take constructive critisism well .... and I know I make make most of my replies pretty long .


As far as how much it costs ..... usually a few hundred dollars extra a year on the Hydro bill . It usually gets turned off when we don't use it during the summer ... but winter , we keep it a bit above freezing and when we decide to use it we crank the heat up on it . :D
