That and the likelihood that I will continue to need a room to work from home, we decided that it was worth looking at getting a garden office, if it can be done within a budget. Both pre-made off-the-shelf buildings, and custom built ones are quite pricey. If we are talking about something insulated with electrics, windows, doors all set up and built, the cheapest I have found is &amp;gt; £12000. Self build however I am managing to squeeze everything in at £4500, a huge saving. It's an undertaking I'm heading into somewhat blindly as I don't personally know anyone who has built anything like this - but I'm pretty optimistic now I've done my research. I have been inspired by similar projects &lt;a href="https://lukespear.co.uk/blog/self-build-garden-office-diy-full-write-up/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtnFDrH-NUo"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
