Hi Adam,
Good luck looking for your new workshop with attached store (SWMBO would call it her home).
When we were looking for ours last year the mrs and the estate agent would head for the front door and me i went straight for the workshop.
At the time we were living on the south coast and we viewed houses from there all over England, Wales and finally up to Scotland. Some of the time the wife could not come with me, so i would take the camcorder, and i am sure you can guess what building took up most of the tape?
Looking at the workshops i was like a kid with a new toy.
Obviously there are plenty of workshops in England and some of them are a nice size (just look at Charley's) but for some reason we found 10 times as many in both Wales and Scotland then we found in England. I don't know why, maybe it just so happened that these people were selling their homes at the time and at any other time there is no difference.
Then we found this house with its 2 storey 26xi13 foot workshop and i fell in love with it, and that was it SWMBO did not have any say in the matter. No it wasn't like that, and to be perfectly honest there was a number of occasions when the house was great but not the workshop, and she did not want to know and said that we are going to keep on looking until we find a perfect house and workshop and thats what we did. Well the house was not exactly perfect and needed some work, but at the price we got it for it was a steal, and now 16 months later we have it just the way we want it.
I bet that lot bored you to tears.
Once again good luck Adam.
Regards
