“We built our posh shed office using stuff from the skip – it saved us £23k”
Graham Anderson, 35, and his wife, Rachel, 34, were working from their spare bedroom but decided they needed more space with their four children running around. The couple – who are both architects – set about designing and transforming an unused patch of land at the bottom of their garden into a vibrant garden room – to use as a workspace. To be as economical as possible, they made an effort to source their materials from free online ads. They found the insulation for the roof in a skip using Gumtree, the front window they got from an unwanted window re-seller, and the timber was reclaimed with help from the Southampton Wood Recycling Project. Their frugal decision making meant they were able to build their summer cabin for just £12k in total – £23k less than the £35k Graham estimates the build would have cost them had they got someone to do it for them.
