this post has been prompted by the caravan converter, sorry, i have just forgotten your name.
moving soon i will need space for a studio and extra room, but the pods etc on the market are very expensive.
i wouldnt have that kinda money.
any ideas what else i could use that i could start looking out for?
I am unsure if i would have manpower on my side to do real physical work.
pal
all suggestions gratefully received and it would give others ideas too.

An quick and easy way of doing this to to purchase a 20ft steel container.. they cost around €1000 but i have seen them for less at auctions... they are dry sturdy and will stand up to any weather. also can be drylined inside if you require a better finish.. usually if bought from a shipping company or auction house they will have details of a company that can deliver and site where needed.. only problem is if you live in a mid terraved house unless the rear garden is accessable... failing that you could always make one from wood.. very inexpensive, and can design your own... any carpenter/handyman would gladly give advice or help out far a daily rate or free if your lucky.. funnily enough im building one myself....
will post pics later. hope this helps regards Vagabond
