The one issue I do see as being a problem may be zoning laws as they pertain to outside structures on property within city limits. <br /><br />Time will tell, but I know I plan to have a Shed very soon to work from in my own backyard.Grant Griffithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311085498498008847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35485673.post-86842456566623748032010-11-03T19:56:31.181+00:002010-11-03T19:56:31.181+00:00I live and work in Vancouver, BC, Canada and would...I live and work in Vancouver, BC, Canada and would love to work from my garage. The problem is the expense of converting my existing garage, but conceptually, I think it's a great idea.<br /><br />I know that Vancouver has just amended it's building regulations to allow 'laneway housing' which essentially opens the door for garage conversions into home offices with full facilities.Ben Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302321721791749766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35485673.post-83413321560194869412010-11-03T01:15:19.636+00:002010-11-03T01:15:19.636+00:00As a Canadian with terminal shed-envy I find this ...As a Canadian with terminal shed-envy I find this an interesting topic. Now that I am officially an "empty-nester" I have lots of space in the house, but none of it seems quite right for that perfect artist's studio I long for. <br />All the reasons Lloyd gives for not working in a shed are quite valid. The challenge of heating in the winter is perhaps the most compelling. But on the other side of the coin, the ridiculous distances many of us have to travel to work, in road conditions that you could barely imagine in Britain, surely must help to tilt the scale. I drive 12 miles to work every day, on rural roads that are the last to be cleared of snow. Even though I live in Southern Ontario, which is probably the most densely populated part of Canada, I don't have the option of public transport because there simply isn't any.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102492801230311641noreply@blogger.com
