Garden Offices
The never-ending rise in the cost of living continues to increase our
financial burden almost on a daily
basis.
Fuel prices in particular have risen alarmingly over recent weeks.
It wasn’t so long ago that a full
tank of fuel in an average family car
cost around £45; now, with prices
rapidly approaching £2 a litre, the same
amount of fuel can cost around £10 more.
If the car needs filling up on a
weekly basis then that’s an
additional £520 per annum that has
to be found from somewhere.
So maybe it’s time to re-think the use of our beloved motors and decide
which journeys have to be made by car,
and which don’t.
Take the daily journey to the
work; how many of us
really need to waste time and money
driving into town just to sit in an
office with everyone else? With
wireless network and internet access
people have more choice of where, when
and how to work.
Mark Simons, Managing Director of Aspect Structures,
specialists in the design and
construction of garden buildings, says:
“We are finding that more and more people are looking at
flexible home working options.
The need to be in the office from
Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm, is
rapidly becoming irrelevant, and this is
where garden offices really come into
their own.”
Working from home would not only save us time and money previously spent
on fuel, parking and other travel
expenditure, but it would also reduce
our carbon emissions too.
If fuel prices continue to rise then maybe we will start to see a major
shift in the way people work.
With more people opting to work
from home, there would be fewer cars on
the road, particularly at rush hour,
which can only be a good thing.
With a reduction in the demand for fuel then
the oil companies would be forced to
reduce their prices.
This ultimately means more
money in our pockets as a result of
spending less on fuel in the first
instance and the savings made by the
fall in fuel prices.
So working from home could be a win-win
situation.
