Hi All
Back again after a little break. The bike workshop got completed all bar the guttering which I was going to finish but family issues have stopped that for the time being.
However with the current Corvid-19 issues the office that I work in closed and everybody was asked to work from home. After a meeting with the directors I have now been given the choice to work at home permanently if I wish. Which brings me back here.
We have decided to create a garden home office as working in the house with the family around is too distracting.
First question if the day is would building to Mike's workshop quality suit a garden office that will be used 5 days a week by 1 or 2 people?
My initial thoughts after looking at the websites offering these is that yes it will but I thought I would ask the hive mind first
I would like to build this quite quickly but I only have a couple of hours in the evenings and then the weekends as I am one of the few that haven't been furloughed and am working longer hours than normal. So I don't think a concrete slab will be the way to go. I looked at the concrete lintel sketches and thought I could do something like strip foundations as i can mix the concrete and then a small brick wall bringing the height up to 150mm ish above ground level, I still ahve loads of bricks left from the workshop build.
Due to the location of the planned office (less than 2m from the boundary) I need to keep the roofline lower than 2.5m so may go for a flat roof, I have looked at the EPDM type materials but these look rather expensive, are they worth the money?
That'll do for now while I think on....
