    Sometimes you need to communicate more directly. Leave her. She will get it.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      someone in? good lord no. the shed in question is 10 x 18 and was installed at the bottom of the garden by the previous owners as a classroom for their educated-at-home kids.

      budget was a few days of my time taking all the stuff that had accumulated over the last eight years to the dump, then cleaning up the spider communities, relining the walls, moving ltd co documents from under the stairs to shed shelves, adding table, chair, wifi, guitar & amp, cross training machine thing... voila!

      decoration is a few unwanted prints on the walls. klimt on my right, picasso on my left, kandinsky at the back.

      as always the shed is starting to fill with stuff again. the cross training machine is being encroached... i need to execute a stuff execution again.

        i forgot to add that having the space is terrific. it's easier to focus on work in my home made office environment rather than perched on a table in the house. it's also excellent for getting away from kid tantrums.

            I've got two. An office in the house, and a 10 by 20 shed I've recently built in the garden.

              I have a small home recording studio, there is a white board with a plan b todo list on it which I can use to say it is my office.

              Fridge is first thing outside the door.

                    Too risky, you might take a swig from the wrong one.
