Other Things to Consider

Other things to take into account when making plans for the new cottage home include:

They understand that creating a comfortable, safe neighborhood does not end with providing quality housing. They know that the best communities are filled with people who work together to improve the quality of life for all residents. That is why so many members are active in community work, from providing affordable housing to low-income residents, providing educational opportunities and scholarships to students, to working with government in an effort to keep housing affordable for all.
  • Check all local building codes, and zoning laws that determine what you can build, as well as where you can build it.
  • If the new cottage home will be your primary residence, you may qualify for a GST (goods and services tax) rebate.
  • Cottage house plan kits are available, an option that can help cut down on costs. This also allows the do-it-yourselfer to save even more money by doing some or all of the building.
  • Before selecting cottage site, find out what the property taxes will be. Lake side locations can be significantly higher than urban developed areas.
  • When considering remote country settings for cottage construction, find out what easement or property rights of way may be attached to the property, if any.

Newton is a rationalist and deflates claims of an ancient origin for Masonry per se; rather he illuminates the historical precedents of the group. He starts with ancient Egypt, not because he believes that the Egyptians had functioning Masonic lodges, but because that is where monumental architecture began. He covers the ancient mystery religions, and the true origin of Masonry in organizations of medieval stone-masons. After a period of decline, a London meeting held in 1717 at the Goose and Gridiron Alehouse united the remaining four Lodges of England, and started modern Freemasonry. The two-tier organization proliferated into three, and then multiple degrees, during the 18th and 19th centuries, eventually resulting in modern Freemasonry.
