SIMPLY COOPER HQ BUILD
It's January 2023 and I have zero workspace in my home office. My shelves are overflowing and my heat presses and printers are taking over my kitchen!
I NEED MORE SPACE!
What do I do next? How do I take my small business forward?
I never imagined I would create a small business that would outgrow a table never mind outgrow my house!
Do I begin looking at units and paying someone rent and overheads? Or... do I build a garden office? Can I build a garden office? Do we have the space? The money? The means to?
The pros far outweigh the cons and it means I can still work from home and be with my boys as much as they need me. I wouldn't pay overheads and rent, the space would be fully mine!
I began talking to my husband and family to find out their thoughts - thankfully everyone was behind the idea! I then searched high and low for ages before deciding on the particular office I chose.
This is the picture I seen on the Tiger Sheds website.
As soon as I seen this picture I knew that it was my HQ - I just had that feeling!
I ordered it in January for delivery in February meaning we had time to prep even if the weather wasn't always on our side.
With huge thanks to my Dad and my Husband, between the 3 of us (mainly them!) we dug out a few tonne of dirt, and they built the foundations and base over a few weekends.
We had regulations to stick to ensuring it didn't go over a certain height and ensuring we left boundary space. It really was a learning curve!
By the time the HQ was delivered, we had everything prepped ready for building...
I couldn't believe it when I came home from my day job one Friday afternoon and it was half built!
