Mark, I was born and raised in Ridgewood (Bergen County) and lived in North Haledon (Passaic County) before relocating to North Carolina in 2004. Just came back from a visit to NJ — we won’t be moving back there again!

Vaillant — Everyone has an opinion and that means that not everyone is right in what they say. I am far more productive working at home than I would be if I were to commute a half hour each way to my job. I can start early, end late and take breaks on my schedule. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ll be ditching the home office anytime soon!

Tell me about it – everytime I work from home I always hear from my friend “you’re sitting at home you could do something useful with your time”. I mean come on, I’m working all that time – what’s the difference if I do it from home or from the office.

Yes I have built a fortress of solitude in my home that super man would be jealous of. If a dog barks or a lawn mower fires up I put on my noise canceling headphones that I use at the gun Range. I must have silence to write. Matt by the way I am a cat owner that was born and raised in Cherry Hill NJ. Were in Jersey did you live? I relocated to Florida recently.

I don’t think it is good to keep office at home. Work place should be a cool and calm one and many people distracted if it is at home. This post is quite good and seem to have come out of your experience.

Having your office at home is a very good idea since you will be close
with your family, and its a place which will give you the comfort that an actual office can’t give.

I just really have problems concentrating when any type of noise is present. Right now, I’m finding the best time to work is during the evening hours after everyone else is off to bed. I’m thinking an underground bunker would suit me better.

Having a home office has its own ups and down. I agree be careful on what you wish for, we can’t have the best of both worlds. In my opinion, go with your unused garage space, and just keep a work schedule where no one would be allowed to bother you.

I totally understand when you say you crave for solitude to write something that is conjuring up in your mind.But a corner in the house where no one disturbs you is a dream specially when you have kids at home.But setting up an office at garage is not a bad idea at all infact i think its the best idea. You can be home for all the works like mowing your lawn and blowing away leaves can be done at the same time you will have your solitude, just furnishing a little will get going .imagine the money u were going to pay as rent , you can spend little more and have your own office.Voila! you wont have any recurring expenses in form of rent. A one time investment!
