I have a separate building at the bottom of the garden, a kind of dream shed if you like. I have worked at home for 9 years now and never regret it, except perhaps the night I agreed to work back late with a band that got a bit drunk and called out 'goodbye' to my wife as they were leaving.
Never had any neighbour complaints though, many in fact have asked what it is I do.
I think it's the way of the future frankly, and not having to deal with a landlord is fantastic. All you have to do is keep the mortgage going, which you'd have to do anyway. I'm not going to show my wife that picture of the swimming pool - things like that give her ideas, though I do like the unmarked graves that adorn the periphery!
