Hi,

I am thinking about getting a garden office. I would be using this
building all year round working in it most days so needs to be well
insulated so the cold doesn't get at me and also needs to not get
too
hot in the summertime. Also there would be about 6k of computer
equipment in there so needs to be as secure as possible. Because
most
of my work is done on computers I don't want huge swathes of glass
windows and doors as I find too much light getting in stops me from
seeing the screen clearly due to reflections. I'm thinking of one
with
approximate dimensions 3.5mx3.5m. Any suggestions for a vendor that
fits in well with these criterior. Also I'm not against putting it
together myself.

Thanks.

My cousin has a two of those seagoing containers in his garden to
house his collection of antique motorcycles and the workshop that goes
with them.

They are lined with insulation material behind plywood (orsomesuch
material). Nice and warm and no windows at all. Can be locked up tight
with padlocks etc.

I've no idea where he got them from, and you'd need to be able to get
in delivered with a crane.

Fell off the back of a lorry??

An interesting idea though, I have worked in a few for short periods and
although there was electric lighting I missed having a window or two.

heater in there. If you go this route I would suggest putting in a
proper wall heater that can run overnight to take the chill off if it
drops too low.

a couple hundred watts of computer left running (with the monitor turned
off) would do the job nicely ;-)

(and put less strain on the hard drive by not power cycling it every day)

I'd imagine you could cut windows in the side if so desired. My cousin
likes to hide from his wife............:~))

Oh yes - that reminds me of lorry backs, the refrigeration units would be
well insulated.

Our daughter has several on her farm, there are plenty of 'dead lorry backs'
depots around. Look in Yellow pages or Google for one near you.

News only guarantees transmission of 7 bit ASCII characters. The pound

servers. The same goes for all those idiots that think it's clever to
put characters from the extended Windows character set into their posts.
Some servers will strip the characters and replace them with blanks,
some sill simply drop that particular post on the floor.

Since you're a gardener, the best response is probably "there, there,
don't you worry it's a bit technical."

I'm trying to work out why someone should invent "UKP" in preference to
using the ISO standard "GBP". That was the only explanation I could come up
with, Northern Ireland being in UK but not in GB, I thought that perhaps
someone who wanted to make a political statement about Northern Ireland
being part of the UK would object to using "GBP". Can you think of any other
reason for inventing "UKP"?

1) I saw it in use first
2) It's more accurate
3) Stuff ISO - standards committees are often a waste of time

Well, you did ask!

You could consider something like an Omar Lodge, which can be built to

a custom quote because the nearest thing on the website is probably a 6
bedroom Leisure Lodge which is probably slight overkill.

Much depends on how much dosh you have. I like English Heritage
buildings which are framed in green oak.

Is this a company? Do they have a web site?

Good grief Tim, you are over-analysing way too much. I've seen UKP used
before, it hasn't been invented to make a political stand.

Taking your logic a stage further... When you install Windows it asks
you for configuration information. Country options include "United
Kingdom" not "Great Britain". Are Microsoft making a political statement
about Northern Ireland with their Windows Installation procedure? Using
the logic you provide above, you'd have to conclude they are.

But they look awfull, unless you put a wood frame around and clad it. Which
may be feasible.

A Google search for "second hand portakabin" yields many interesting looking
hits
