      La-Z-Boy chair and Pioneer KRP-600M 60" plasma (with appropriate input sources and speakers). And Jessica Alba.
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        Do you mean, it's too nice and the Mrs will want to be there all the time? Or I haven't specified the relevant accoutrements to make my time in said building enjoyable?

          I'd ditch the mattress idea and get a comfy couch in there instead.

            - security camera with motion sensor (facing the back door)
            - kettle
            - beer fridge
            - bottle opener, two wine glasses and two beer glasses
            - mattress
            - a window so mucky you can't quite see in

            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              That and the HUGE expanse of glass.

              How are you supposed to keep up with the One-A-Day thread with a window like that?

                  Very good point. Maybe there should be a screen in the workshop bit too...

                    Saw a very neat idea on Grand Designs the other night. Glass panels with a built in LCD film. Flick a wall switch and it goes opaque, instantly. Flick it back and it's perfectly clear again.

                    I'm sure you could rig an automation system to query URL's and activate it automatically when required

                      The default is opaque IIRC - it actually needs power to go transparent...
