 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.)?
At least some sort of bus will have some windows, for natural light and possibly nice views.
I've worked out of an old bus for work at Glenridding sailing school. Damp, cold, condensation, leaky, crafty and drafty. Then a baking greenhouse without enough ventilation. There was no in-between. Dreadful.Â
