The “Outside the Home” Home Office
My wife pointed out a website about TINY homes to me tonight (http://www.tinytexashouses.com). After taking a look at the site, I decided that these houses remind me alot of nice garden sheds. If people can live in less than 100 sq ft, I figured that they might make some practical use for the regular person. Then came the thought of an "Office Shed".
After some quick research, I discovered that I am not the first to have this thought. Many freelance designers, programmers, architects, anyone else that works from home sit at home in their den or at the kitchen table. These creatives need a space to be creative in. Along comes the "Office Shed"! They can be as fancy or simple as you want. They range from $5,000 for the standard shed to $15,000 for the office fit for a king. Gone are the days of fighting with kids for the space on the table, or working away after everyone is in bed just to have some peace and quiet. Now a creative simply has to take 10 steps out of the house into their custom, personal office. Feel free to ditch the tie and don the slippers.
Here are some of the offices that I liked:
Just spoke to the wife... She says that when we finally buy a house, I can build a "Back Office". As long as it matches the house. Score one for me!
Buying A House
So, with ALL that internet monies that I am making, we are buying a house. My wife and I started looking around just to see what was out there a couple of months ago. We found a couple that we liked and decided to place an offer on one of them. Our first offer was denied. Not countered but simply denied. We countered that denial with a little better offer but still one that they would be losing money on. We fully accepted that they would just deny again or simply not respond. Much to our surprise, they accepted.
More information is to follow. Pictures may be a while (probably after we move in).
