      I'm sure you could rig an automation system to query URL's and activate it automatically when required
      That could leave you a little exposed should there be a power cut.

        But no self respecting IT geek would be without a battery backup and reserve generator!

        Should prpbably add those to the list of requirements

          Agreed, but make that a sofa bed. You'll appreciate it when the bricks are down.

            One ring hotplate or camping stove.
            Chemical loo if connections to mains sewerage is not practical.
            A two ring burner is better - one for your frying pan (bacon, sausage, eggs) and the other for heating yer baked beans.

                  That's genius! A small diesel generator thumping away all day "to power the NAS" ( ) would disguise all manner of 'activities'!

                    I don't think you've quite got the hang of the shed concept here ...

                    P.S. ... and you probably haven't lived with a health food fanatic either.

                      Are you sure? Mines got a rusty old lawnmower and a couple of bikes in it.

                      I sleep and eat in the house.

                      Have I got it the wrong way round?
