[@environmentalcanadian2338]

Sneaky? Maybe. Useful and well presented information on legally implementing a tiny house in Ontario? Definitely. Thanks for another great video Daniel. Peace, Calvin.

It’s a exciting time and in Nova Scotia nothing is easy … I’m sure there will be up and downs , so collecting information now . Mine will not be on wheels , a foundation… slab . Love the information thank you 🙏🏽

They got me doing land impact studies and environmental studies ...800 minimum ..that's not bad

I have never seen anyone discuss the possibility of building down, as in excavating a basement. The footprint would remain the same. The bonus is room for utilities and water heater, furnace, softener, water filters etc., as well as storage space and a cold storage area for preserves/wine, whatever. Of course there’s the added cost of excavating, but the spoil could be spread around the perimeter of the structure to raise the grade. This would negate the cost of any haulage to remove the spoil.

Hi, Cris T. Usually, people are talking about tiny home to use their money in the best way possible for the most return on their dollar. With the codes in Ontario about what has to happen in the basement in regards to insulation and vapour barrier and even radon mitigation, you are looking at an additional $30,000 or more. I highly recommend just building a larger tiny home and putting the $30,000 into something above grade instead. But, to each their own. It's not out of the question, for sure. I've discussed it with several clients, but no one has gone forward with anything like this due to the additional costs.

Kindly tell me the price of a community tiny house in Ontario. Not on lot but a regular house but tiny. Approximately.

[@UpSizeDown]

We are currently building a 935 SF house (two tiny homes put together) that would be about $350,000.

[@MicahMelnyk]

Great concept. Love it.

[@UpSizeDown]

Thanks Micah!

Considering a tiny home build up in Bracebridge- Huntsville area but know nothing about their zoning laws. Do you have any suggestions how to begin research ? Would this breezeway idea work if primary home is tiny and is joined with large garage structure with a breezeway ?

[@UpSizeDown]

Hi, Rob. The breezeway idea works to make something one building if a municipality doesn't allow accessory dwelling units. It could also work to get around minimum house sizes, especially seeing as Bracebridge-Huntsville area has minimum sizing still. However, a garage is not considered when determining house size, so you would still need to have the main dwelling area be larger. We can certainly look into all of this for you if you buy into our workshops. Send us an email [e-mail] to get more information.

Can you make a video for ottawa?

[@UpSizeDown]

We could totally do a video for Ottawa if we had enough paying clients from there. We can also go through the city for you specifically property by property if you wish, by partaking in our legal land workshop. email us for more information.

I’m in the Ottawa Valley area as well. Really interested in the tiny home movement. Sister has an empty rural property about 5 minutes away from Calabogie, Ontario and I desperately need somewhere to live. All the laws and building codes are a bit overwhelming if you’ve never built a home especially accepting that it can change from county to county.

[@UpSizeDown]

@@maskandvaccinefreeandproud2110 we have a workshop that could help you figure out if your sister's property is good for that. email us for more information: [e-mail]

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Good info 👍

[@glendalynnejanacek7558]

O man that is soon cool .

[@jilldezsenyi7361]

I'm in a trailer against rules lol..got my eviction..nothing's fast enough ...sighs

[@Crystalhurb]

Do you have anything available currently and with land in Ontario. How much? You can dm me crystalhurb. Thanks

[@joannemassicotte2120]

I want to own a tiny home. But not a clue how to make it happen!

[@UpSizeDown]

first, find out where you want to live. If you can get a friend or family member to agree to house you in their backyard, great. If you can purchase land first for yourself, even better. Then email us [e-mail]!

[@andyhermiz3075]

Can u do this in brampton

[@UpSizeDown]

We can do this anywhere! If you'd like more info email us some more details about your property to [e-mail]

[@bhubryan596]

Sorry, why tiny homes are not allowed? What’s the rational behind it?

[@kathy5278]

Can you build me a cottage?

[@UpSizeDown]

Absolutely! This is the fastest way to get a cottage for sure! email us [e-mail] to start the process!

[@E-SPONGE555]

terrible blurry video why?

[@UpSizeDown]

I just rewatched to make sure. I'm still don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps it's the connection on your end? I know you're living pretty remotely there John.
