Shedworking project: pig-shed to home office

Regular readers will know that I relocated my family from London to rural Northumberland 18 months ago and that I travel back and forth.

At home in Northumberland we’ve just completed the conversion of an old shed into an office. The building stands alone within the walls of our garden. It’s approximately 200 years old, maybe older, and during its lifetime has been a pig shed, a kennel and a garden store.

The office is now fully kitted out with broadband, electricity and heating. It has its own monitoring system and alarm which is monitored via an underground Ethernet link back to the farmhouse.

I’ll stick it on Twitter before long.
