Moving house....
« on: February 06, 2014, 11:48:15 pm »
Mum and dad have divorced so we are moving into a rendted house.
But unfortunatly there is no room for a office.

Has anyone ever had an office built in their garage? Plaster boarded and properly done?
If so could is see some photos please.

Also the outside tap is approx 10meters from the garage, does this mean the hoses will freeze in the winted ?

an office thought you only had 10 jobs  ;D

Cant you get a shed? probably be cheaper and warmer with a little oil radiator in there.
You will have to take the hoses in at night if its going to be cold yeah... or be solid in morning

Surely a shed would cost more than seperating part of a garage lol? I just wouldnt know were to start so need some inspiration

well you'd need to insulate a garage wouldn't you then plaster board it etc etc put something down on floors. "if you want it doing properly" it wouldn't be cheap ..a shed cost about what 200 quid?? or make your own   ???

+1 with Ross why do people need an office, I've got a small cupboard that we keep vat and tax papers in a box, also folders for paid and unpaid invoices plus a little storage for stationary.  I've got a lap top printer and scanner on a nice lil desk in the corner of our bedroom. No need for office only need to sit at desk once a month when doing all the invoicing and working out our work for each month.

Adam as for tap being quite far insulate it or even better dig a small trench if poss and bury the hose but wrap it in the foam insulate 👳👳👳👍

I'm with the last 2 here, what on earth do you need an office for?. Presumably you will have a bedroom in this house?, all you need, at most, is a small desk and a small filing cabinet.

Office ;D

all you need is a desk ,laptop,printer and a few drawers for business cards,leaflets,receipts,tax returns etc,etc.


as for outside taps get some insulation for any outside pipes.hoses wont freeze if water is running through them when filling up.


best wishes

i personally think having an office is a good idea and it can be done in the garage, im thinking of it myself
My hose runs from the house to the garage, approximately 15 mts and yes it can freeze in the winter but this year as been mild so ok

I Have done it, you will need waterproof membrane on the floor, batons and plasterboard, this needs to be fire rated board if in garage, insulation and obviously an extra light and some power sockets, double check if you need planning permission for this
