Hi all,
A couple of months ago I was on here asking about converting our summer house to a garden office.
Since then things have changed in terms of my job looking like the home based status will continue long after coronavirus, and we should have some money left after some landscaping / possible extension we are having done, which we’ve reduced the scope of (so I’ve got more money to spend)
So
The thinking now is to take out our relatively new shed, and put its contents into 2 smaller sheds elsewhere in the garden, and use its prime spot and base for a purpose built office (8ft x 10ft).
So my plan is to build it as close as I can to “mikes way”, accounting for the base already being there without a DPM under it.
It’ll be a pent shape to keep height low for the neighbours. So next step will be a sketch up drawing for me to get my head around the concept, and I’ll be sharing photos / thoughts here for any input I can get.
The design will be along these lines
https://dunsterhouse.co.uk/titania-garden-office-w3-3m-x-d2-7m
Timeline, I’m guessing 2 or 3 months to get started , so I’ll be hoping to finish it relatively quickly before winter sets in. Being only 8 x 10 hopefully I can do most of the framework in my garage workshop and keep the outside work to a minimum
Some photos attached to show you the general position, and yes it’s within 1m of next door (about 80cms) but as it’s an office I’m going to try and ignore that (it’s got less to worry about in it than the shed has!)
