Still left to go….

– Small Coffee Table

– Paint on windows

– New PC to setup (when it arrives)

– Steel bookshelf of crap to go – replace with nice artwork (I’ll do)

– Some minor paint touch up on wall…

But we’re operational…!! So I’ll do these last bits over the weekends… Feels soooo good to have a separate office, much easier to focus and work without interruption.

Not a bad effort for a DIY hack designer geek eh?

Now that’s an awesome desk. Designed and built by yours truely!

Resprayed last week at local panelshop in metallic silver.

Wakeboard is there as a motivator…

The window lets me see and talk to the others, but when closed is a good sound deadener.

Picked up a brand new 3, 2 & 1 seater in black leather today of a friend for 1k (new was 2.5k!). They’re only a month old.

Not stolen, just purchased, moved rental and they didn’t fit, so they gave them to us dirt cheap!

(Need a basic coffee table – will look on TradeMe)

All ya need for coffee and a warm lunch!

Here’s an update on the office progress. I’m moving the other desk and finishing this weekend (hopefully).
Only other thing remaining on this side is a PC, and a cheapo couch/Coffee table (will get off TradeMe – something retro/cool, and a little paint)

It’s all insulated and warm.

Once I get Sam moved, I’ll sort out the other side… That’s remaining a secret til done, it’ll look great.

One workstation goes here…
Kitchenette behind the other panel in the corner

There’s a slide-opening window for light and airflow. This person can see views out the window down the paddock

The office fridge goes under here… And a jug and Microwave

The Perspex piece above the dividers is an acoustic barrier.
The other desk will be under the other window

High ceilings. A bugger to do, but they make the room feel bigger. In summer it’ll draw the heat away.

The other desk will go under this window, looking down the paddock
