I have a complete, insulated, properly built outdoor office at the end of my garden. It was built because I had to give up my indoor office due to my daughter being born.

End result? I now work in a tiny corner of the living room because I like being in the house and not walking up and down the garden in the cold. Oops.



I've got a converted shed in the back yard with a big old heater, but during the winter months I keep coming back to the idea of putting my heater on a cron job...

Also when it's really cold it makes me want to run when I need to go back to the house; the dash is a nice brisk way to get the blood pumping a bit.


Same here, good to know I'm not the only one who feels attracted to the house! Is it the lack of a kitchen that keeps you from working out there (assuming that you don't have one) or the lack of company? To me it is a bit of both.


No, just the cold and laziness. Being alone is the massive plus for me. Can't get any work done with interruptions.
