 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
A few years ago, I started a thread on the possibility of using either an old coach or a shipping container as office, and it started a really helpful discussion. I have just spent the last half hour search for it among my old posts and can't find it anywhere, so forgive me. Here I go again.
I am once again returning to the idea of buying and using an old coach, a shipping container, an old railway coach, or a wooden 'cabin' as an office and small social space. It would be located on disused land on the outskirts of the city.
I seem to remember people on here saying 'don't do it' for a number of reasons, but it was so long ago that I can't remember what they were.
So, I am wondering once what the hazards of the idea might be. Of the four possibilities I have mentioned, which would be the best (or least bad) and why? I mean, if I can get an old double-decker for between five and ten thousand pounds, is there a reason it would not work (setting aside questions about planning/utilities/etc.)?
I'd expect a shipping container to need a load of insulation in winter!
stayed at a crazy (excellent btw) campsite on IoW last year where they had an old double decker bus in the social area - downstairs was a fitted (rustic) kitchen and upstairs was standard seats but set up as booths (so tables) - was fabÂ
