My Garden Office Interior now complete!

Post by Richard »

Today, between rather a lot, I managed to complete the multi-million pound refurb of the Office

[center]Image[/center]

The finishing touches have been.......

New Work Top - old door
Work Top Covering - carpet remnant found in skip outside Carpet Store
Shelving - (part old PC base and Shelving found in skip covered in birds doings)

Below

Side Cabinet - Mum's old Kitchen Wall Unit turned upside down, top again from Leo's chucked out PC Base Unit.

Filing Trays - as per Chicken Dropping trays, Bread Baskets, but these are clean(ish)

[center]Image[/center]
Unseen

Heater - found abandoned outside Ashford Town FC three seasons back.

Paid for = PC and Accessories of course, Office Chair (I'm out here a long time), Vinyl Flooring bartered down from £15 to £5, the light which is £2.49 job from Wilko's and a VERY loud Burglar Alarm plus other 'little secrets' !

AND.....do you know, I'm quite proud of it !!

I do have a rather pleasant Dressing Gown.

I forgot, Double Glazed Window Unit off an old door I found. I brought the cheaper shed with no windows and put one in. That's alarmed too.

Anyone who gets as far as here has set off 3 x PIR lights and a Camera.

The Monitor on the left was a chuck out job from Cricket when they went over to larger screens.

The Shed (8' x 6') and buying the Plasterboard came to £192.

'The Pound Shop', but they cost £2.99. Why, have you some spare from there then ? They do take years off me don't they.

That's lovely Richard. My office is a shed within a shed and it's not nearly as tidy as yours.

Richard, Surely you could have got that finished for the dtl freedom party then we could have had a joint freedom/office warming party.
Oh well never mind just let us know when the office warming party is and I am sure I can persuade a few freinds to come along )t' {rofwl}

I very much like the DTL Corporate Headquarters )t'

Actually, if I'm honest, I'm a bit jealous :oops: I think every man needs a good shed to escape to, and I don't have one {cry}

It's a sawn tree branch, varnished and polished.

I 'made' a few Desk Pen Holders a few years back. The one on the right is the one above, but I shortened the handle. I seem to recall choosing it because it looked like a teapot

Just another one of those strange things we do now and again !

I hope Raven is impressed !!!!

Oh I can see now from the close up! I wondered if it was a small wooden watering can. I love the pen holder too. Will be showing Mr Rubyhen to see if he can have a go. Wouldn't want him to be bored this weekend :-D

How the other half live. I have £1.99 glasses from Lid el's and an old mug for a pen holder. My chair gives up the ghost and collapses and I have a little radiator under the desk and only one screen. Richard's fame has made him so posh but it still looks good.

Posh - not the word. If I carry on the rest of the winter like last week, I shall amount £78.60 by the time I go back to Cricket.

I like little fancies now and again. I made a load of Dowsing Pendulums from bits of hazel a few years back. They're around somewhere, I'll post them in 'Hobbies' if I find them.
