Podzook: a simply stunning backyard office pod

Tyvek the outside really tight, cedar underlayment, then cedar siding and tar paper roof. Insulate the inside with literal bubble wrap, make sure there is a conduit and french drain for condensation to flow, install a small ceiling exhaust fan, and drywall it with 3/8" drywall.

McMaster causes me to hemorrage money. I have voluntarily stopped going there. (Just one more peek…)

Picking up a store with a crane… isn’t that shoplifting?

This from a guy who installs OpenSSH on windows. Blasphemer!

I… might have done that? I don’t recall having done so.

Back on topic – I think the Podzook is too expensive for me, but utterly beautiful. I love the curvey curves all on the interior with the alumin(i)um and whatnot. swoon

In firework circles, those are known as Cremoras, and they’re easy and fun.

How about a railway carriage? Not as solid, but there’s plenty of light and furniture is already installed. This one is in good condition and costs 8,500 GBP ONO:

Probably around 2008-2009, on Windows XP, with cygwin and Emacs. You can’t hide from your past, infidel! The all-seeing eye of the Internets knows you are an emacs-on-windows heretic. Expect Bill Joy to lead a mob wielding pitchforks and torches to your door in the near future, unless you abjure heresy and run vi(m) on OpenBSD henceforth!

OK, I’ll stop now.

The only heretics are those who use other ā€œeditorsā€ yet feel no shame.

You have to do with the editor you have, not with the editor you want.

The first one is obviously the result of a collision, by the prow of another ship, looks like. The the latter three all speak to the burly structural integrity of shipping containers — those things are full, held together only with twistlocks, and sticking out sideways, yet still protecting their contents. If I have to be indoors for a quake a container would be high up on my list of preferred structures.

That desk looks suspiciously similar to one I saw at Restoration Hardware.

Couldn’t find the desk, but check out this chair.

I’m not sure, but I think I saw that desk here on the Boing as well.

Yeah, here are the chairs: http://boingboing.net/2011/04/07/jet-age-chairs-at-re.html

I shall have to look into more closely when I have my own property, rather than renting. And I live in Australia, so I doubt I can get those prefab ones.
