Goodbye, summer... hello, autumn!

Hi, Workshackers!

Well, it's finally happened! I've had to employ my little heater in my garden office! I was avoiding it for as long as I could, but, despite the thick insulation, I've had to take the chill off!

Of course, once the sun moves round and it starts coming through my windows, my office is as warm as toast! I certainly know that, on the occasions I go into the office 'proper', I can't feel the sun on my face! Working in the garden really is wonderful!

We're planning on entertaining next weekend, since it's been a while since we have and are feeling a little 'out of the loop'! So, whoever is lucky (?) enough to receive the invitation, will be wined and dined in the shack! Out will go the laptop and in will come the table cloth and extra chairs! And, hey presto! Our very own restaurant! Office to eatery in a matter of moments! Who would've thought a shack in the garden could be so versatile!

Well, I've finished for the day now. So, I'm off to mow the lawn (getting into the garden office is making me feel a bit like Ray Mears - time for action, I feel!)

Will catch up with the garden-working crew later in the week. Until then, all the best,

Jane.

P.S. Workshacks will be delighted to welcome Oliver back to work next week. He has his cast off on Wednesday after a run-in with a sumo wrestler (it's true!) Poor old Ollie is not looking forward to having a skinny arm, though. I know, maybe we could temporarily kit out our garden office as a gym - get those wimpy muscles back to their former glory!

Just a quick ramble from yours truly
sunday evening sitting in the business hub wishing i could work from here all the time. Ill have to be content on making others dreams come true by creating a workshack space for them, jumping in the shack mobile at 6.45 and heading for the M1 THE POSITIVE IS OF CAUSE when you are all working from your WORKSHACKS ILL BE THE ONLY ONE ON THE M1. hears to progress. GUY......

Afternoon all. And what a fabulous afternoon it is! One thing is for sure - it's far too nice to be stuck inside four brick walls!

I have had a pretty-much perfect working day: working from a home office in this kind of weather is truly superb! I must say, it's far easier to concentrate with your own tailor-made environment around you and nothing but the sounds of the birds in the trees! I left the sanctuary of my garden office and came in a few minutes ago. I certainly can see why people choose to work away from the house! My word, I need to do some tidying up! But, devoid of inspiration, I went back to work from the bliss that is my garden office! I know the mess is still there, of course, but I can't see it! So, that's OK then!

I shut my office doors about 5 minutes ago and was back, in my house, within 30 seconds! It makes me think of my stuck-in-their-ways friends who aren't quite visionary enough to see life from my angle. They're the same people who will take two hours to get home tonight!

Hoorah for the home office! Let's face it - we've all got to work, but there's no place like home!

Jane, signing out for now.

Home Garden Office

Have you ever wondered why so many people are using their garden space to work from? More and more people are working from and office based in the garden. Why? There are lots of reason - we'll let you know some of them in the coming months about why home garden offices are proving so popular.

Is a summerhouse for you?

Is a summerhouse for you?

As my first blog entry this may be a little, erm, how shall we say, baby's first attempt. But I am sure in time things will start to flow as CSE grade 3 english does hardly prepare one for such endevours as this. There was no internet in 1980, just the act of using a keyboard has been an arduous task requiring many f's and b's this whole experience has been in fact somewhat daunting, however here we are .
As you have no doubt gathered by now I am no journalist - well not yet. I am in fact a builder, which I would hope is more what your looking for. Anyway, 30yrs on my clock and some 120 on my immediate family tree, that's a lot. My brother, son, father, great great grandfather and uncles have all taken up the trowel, saw or plumbing wrench at sometime. Workshacks has been a passion of mine for the last 2 years, you see I just cannot see why people:-

A. Have to commute for hours a day to work in a office. Whats wrong with a workshop
with all this communication equipment availble? There surely a betterway!

B. Why people in the UK have to build in brick or concrete. It's bloody expensive, not just in
labour but enviromentally.

C. Why you need to heat a whole house when you just sit in one room (back bedroom office)

These thoughts are just a taster to make us think a litlle harder about what could be changed.
It can be much more than a summerhouse.

Anyway as this is a start up business and I've got real work to do, better sign off and do some. More rambling soon .
Guy.
