        Stupid question but won't it get cold in the winter? Do you connect to the mains?

        Was thinking of an outside office but may go with a garage conversion.

          Thanks for suggestions so far. In text

          Beer fridge - I like your thinking, keg for homebrew highly likely
          TV - Oh yes will have 24" as 4th monitor and projector for conf calls and films.
          Box of tissues. - I prefer the real thing.
          It's a man cabin, he can just let it fall on the floor and dry up of its own accord. - see above.
          Dartboard? - hmm probably not but valid suggestion.
          Scatter cushions? Pot pourri? - not that in touch with my feminine side, I found the pot pourri gets stuck in my teeth.
          Humidor for the cigars obviously! - had to give up the weed all varieties unfortunately.
          An exercise bike? - thinking dual function cross trainer I sit down too much as it is.
          Pics? - for use with tissues or of the cabin?

            No perfectly sensible, I have worried about that. Currently planned 50mm underfloor insulation, 50mm roof insulation, 45mm walls. Most people online seem to think that is good enough. If its too cold I can dry line and add another 50->100mm insulation, I can also add a few 100mm of insulation in the rafters but that will spoil the looks. I currently have a conservatory full of Celotex.

            Yes the last owners had a power socket down there, it will probably just be that at first via a UPS. However I laid lots of underground ducts to provide power, network, fibre etc.

                I want a pinball and/or an arcade machine for my cabin (when it's built).

                      You do want a server don't you?
