Proper contractors home office. A dedicated working area, big desk, plenty of storage space. Sea views, proper chair, coffee maker and somewhere to relax with a sofa, TV and coffee table. Mrs PL has her own office so doesn't pile crap on my desk.
Had the loft converted for this reason only.
Best decision ever.
I still feel the need to be on site 3 weeks a month though. I need the discussions over a coffee/ciggy to really know what's going on otherwise I think you're too disconnected. YMMV.Comment
