Garden Office Building? What do you recommend?
"William.R.Reisen" wrote in message om... 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. THe two option I'm consdiering are a conservatory or a "tay" log cabin. The log cabin is cheaper, though a bit more fiddly as it won't be connected to the house (from http://www.dhleisureandgarden.com), but both require planning permission (in my case). You want to make sure that you have proper business permission if your business pays for it, rather than rents space in it from you (and make sure something domestic is in it to show it is part of the private dwelling. And soon as you show up on councils radars as running a business from home, beware.... I'm going to attached mine all up to my existing house alarm system and add some cameras. As it will be at the back, the dog (and all the neighbours dogs) will add protection too. |

"Old Codger" wrote in message news I don't believe planning permission is required for a garden shed or a summer house. It is surprising the uses there are for a good summer house. Unless you live in a conservation area planning permission is not necessary for "utility" buildings which are not habitable. They must be separate from the house, built entirely within your own ground and meet maximum height limits. (Hence the recent fury over a man who built a games room and gymnasium that was larger than his house. Planning officials could do nothing.) And if you did ask for planning permission, isn't there a risk that the local authority might try to ask for business rates? -- Simon Elliott http://www.ctsn.co.uk/ |

"Mary Fisher" wrote in message et... What about your own projects which have been hanging fire for years - to say nothing of the new ones you've just thought about? I've just finished digging 900ft of ditch, laying drainage pipes, an alkathene water pipe with five stand points, and installing an armoured garden ring-main with IP65 sockets. I am currently building a 20ft by 20ft fruit cage, containing raised beds for three varieties of strawberry, blackcurrent, redcurrents, a single tayberry and three rows of raspberries. When it rains I am building a computer for my prospective son-in-law and editing 28 hours of digital video taken when my wife and I spent three weeks living with hill-tribe villagers in Thailand. I don't watch much telly - and I sleep extremely soundly! but why are you sad, Sid? |

"Jim Lawton" wrote in message ... but why are you sad, Sid? Withdrawal symptoms having moved 200 miles from where I spent much of my life. When you are working you meet many people to share your achievements and failures with. When you are retired you do something and then feel slightly irked that there is no-one to pat you on the back, make sarcastic comments or tell you how much better you could have done it.... |

Call that a response? I was looking for something much more specific. Good grief, if you can't do retirement better than that, I'm afraid you're going to have to get back to work at once. Any good?

So, despite the existence of "GBP" which has unambiguous meaning worldwide on any documents written in any language, someone goes and invents "UKP", which on the day they invented it meant nothing to anybody other than themselves.

Pity they don't strip sarcastic characters, ....if they did, your paragraph would have disappeared, and... especially those that cant even spell but rely totally on spell checker........."some sill simply" Must be nice to be so intelligent. ....classing simple typing errors as spelling mistakes is a bit over the top, especially as you dropped an apostrophe in "can't". And for your information to be a modern "Gardener " you have to be a builder, a plumber, a gas fitter, a chemist, a botanist, an entomologist and be willing to work up to 15 hours a day in season and 7 days a week. I'm the novice gardener in our house (I found this post in uk.consultants) and I am genuinely in awe of my partner's knowledge of plants and "green fingers". Let's just hope that gardening doesn't become the "new plumbing", with thousands of disillusioned unemployed taking a six week course and foisting themselves, unprepared, upon the public! Peter. |

I'm the novice gardener in our house (I found this post in uk.consultants) and I am genuinely in awe of my partner's knowledge of plants and "green fingers". Let's just hope that gardening doesn't become the "new plumbing", with thousands of disillusioned unemployed taking a six week course and foisting themselves, unprepared, upon the public! Easy test to spot the fakes - real plant people don't use the common names. Latin names all the time, unless you ask them what they are talking about. My girlfriend is garden designer, I have no idea what she is talking about half the time - bit like her comments about me and comfusers (thats "computer" to you).. -- Stephen Kellett Object Media Limited http://www.objmedia.demon.co.uk RSI Information: http://www.objmedia.demon.co.uk/rsi.html |

".............. Let's just hope that gardening doesn't become the "new
plumbing", with thousands of disillusioned unemployed taking a six week course and foisting themselves, unprepared, upon the public........." I don't know, with the prices they charge........ just think a 2 hour gardening job and a bill for a couple of hundred pounds sterling, I was quoted one hundred and twenty pounds just to have a 12 ft length of pipe joined into my gas pipe(From bulk tank, so supply was turned off to work) and to have a tap at the end of it.. The pipe was in an awkward position and with osteoarthritus in both knees I thought I would have it done. Did the job myself with pipe I already have and just had to buy connection and tap, total cost under a tenner and the job took less than 15 mins. There is no way I would work for 10 hours to pay someone that rate for 15 mins work. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |
