The two cuzzies, being entrepreneurial selling feijoas for $1. They made a good few dollars that day! I also found Livvy a suitable hat for her next venture!

Dad’s new office!
Here’s a few pics of the new office I’ve just setup in Auckland for our software co. Looking pretty swish!
The office is nearly done! We’re moving in anyway!
Here’s the ‘before’ shot when it was just a garage…
And after the garage roller doors were removed, this is the finished outside… We wanted it to appear non-descript and plain 😉
And now for the inside! We’re going to move in over the next day or two. Looking forward to it! A few bits left to do but we’ll knock them off over the next week or so.
My office is the green corner cube 😉
We’re powered and wired for 5x workstations.
Will tackle the kitchen over the next weekend. It’s kitset, so should be a doddle to whack together.
Shower, toilet and laundry going in. Will be done in a day or two.
Telecomms below going to the house.
The office is progressing!
The office is coming along well. It’ll look awesome when done in a few weeks! Below is the front of the office, showing the entrance and huge window in my office.
Looking in the front door…
This ‘cube’ is my office. Windows to let good light in.
Laundry, toilet, shower.
Looking towards the kitchen. Bathroom entry is on the right. Window looks out to the back lawn.
Exposed trusses, high ceilings.
The office taking shape!
Not the fastest effort, but the builders are doing a good job – making progress on the new office. Looking forward to being in there!
Today’s the day!
Well, today is the big day! We’re off to the lawyers to sign the final docs to make our house sale and purchase unconditional! A little scary but they that “What doesn’t kill you only makes your stronger”!
So it’s a new chapter for the Stones! Watch this space!
Julians Headshots
These are the headshots I had done today. We’re starting to need them for the ProWorkflow business. What do ya think people?
More Office Update Photos…
– 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!
Stones office extension update
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
(One piece of ply left on the ceiling)
Dad’s hard work takes shape!
What a good effort! 2 days work and we’ve nearly got the office extended! Just need to get the sparky this week, then will start the lining and insulation etc…
