Hey Weissguy,
When I started this, I really thought we would move toward something very similar
to this layout. .
That's one of the plans I considered using when we were thinking we might just put a "temp" structure at our pond as well. In fact, our idea at the time was very much the same as yours. Build something that will house our equipment and be comfy for now as a weekend place, and then we'd build the big house later. We went through tons of plans online, drew several ourselves, and ultimately decided we didn't like any of them. Then, we decided to go back to the full on home structure, and that's what we are planning to build this spring.
I really do like that plan though. I was going to link it as well, but couldn't remember what site I had seen it at.
