I'm planning on constructing "an office in the back of the garden" as my British Boss calls it. <BR/><BR/>I'm fine for permitting, zoning, and budgetting, but having trouble finding a good plan that will be ecologically groovy, reasonably afforable and fairly quick. At the moment, I'm working in a tend in the woods with wireless internet and a power cord for my lap top. Any ANY suggestions are welcome!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577998810312384349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35485673.post-83744667307922726602007-06-20T04:22:00.000+01:002007-06-20T04:22:00.000+01:00In my neighborhood we have restrictions preventing...In my neighborhood we have restrictions preventing us from building any unattached outbuilding. Almost everyone I know wants one, but the neighborhood covenants still say no. For some reason the majority of residents never unite against the few who like dumb rules. I see that happen over and over in suburban American communities.John Commonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002455279105165175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35485673.post-88861365757305353172007-06-19T15:29:00.000+01:002007-06-19T15:29:00.000+01:00It is catching on in the states and Canada but the...It is catching on in the states and Canada but there are a few restraints; most bylaws exempt structures under 100 square feet so that sets the maximum limit, and for most North Americans 100 square feet is their bedroom closet, not a habitable space. The other issue is cost; Everything is calculated in a meaningless dollars per square foot and they compare the price of a decent shed to the home depot rubbermaid special and guess who wins. Money trumps design every time.Lloyd Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07321036757365862624noreply@blogger.com
