Judy, I always respond to sender and to the list, just so that people will get

my answers immediately, whether the list is working or not, so you will get this

right away even with being on digest and then get the answer again when you get

your digest.

Anyway, one thing that I am looking at right now and think would be important to

consider. I have a corner desk, so that my monitor is right in the corner.

This is great because I can look out the window and watch the birds, but I can

also turn just a bit and look out the door into the hallway. I love this

set-up, but now that it is getting very sunny outside and staying light later

(since I work evenings until 11:00 p.m.), I am noticing that the sun is

interfering in some ways. For instance, I have just had to close all of the

blinds on my windows because the glare bouncing off the back wall onto the

monitor makes the monitor difficult to see. Also, the sun is currently bouncing

off my car, which sits right outside my window, and right in my eyes, at least I

know the sun will be moving soon and that won't last. Anyway, think about the

angle of the sun and where it will be coming into the room in relationship to

your monitor.

The one other thing is that the door from this room looks directly out into the

hallway. Even though I have some nice pictures on that wall, it might be nice

if the door could open out into the living room instead.

Those are my thoughts. Margaret

We are closing on a new home next week. The house has a nice Florida room off

the living room. My husband is going to re-model that room and turn it into a

home office for me.

He is practically re-building the whole room. Putting in new windows, (even

placing them differently), doors, ect. My question is, do any of you have any

suggestions as to ideas to make the office comfortable and practical for MT

work?

I know I should have lots of book cases, *G* but what about other things? Is

there any particular thing you like or don't like about your office? Any

Judy, I just thought of something else, but I'm not sure if you want to go to

this much trouble or not. When I had my house built three years ago, I was

thinking ahead to times when my parents my want to come a little south in the

winter and not spend all of their time in Indiana. One of the options offered

was sound proofing. This actually consists of just adding a layer of insulation

(just like on the outside walls) between all of the studs. This has worked out

quite well. I can still hear noise, even with the door closed, but it is not

enough to totally mess up my concentration or really even make those difficult

docs any harder to hear. It has also in a way ended up sound proofing the guest

room, because the only room the guest room shares a wall with is the office, so

mom and dad can sleep in peace even when I am working and being noisy at night.

Just something to think about if you can do it. Margaret

I currently use a halogen light in my office and love it. The light on the

ceiling fan gives too much of a glare and my desk lamp never was good enough

for me. This halogen light was just the right thing. It's a $15.00 light

from WalMart and works like a charm!!

One thing that's been great for us is enhanced wiring, on a separate

circuit. We had an electrician come to the house and upgrade the wiring just

6 months ago. We have a network of 6 computers, and have 2 call-in systems,

a laser printer, a scanner and a fax/printer/scanner/copier. Our computer

guru was getting sweaty armpits every time he added a piece of equipment to

the mix, because we had extension cords/surge protectors connected in

strings. It was dangerous, believe me! We now have 14 outlets in the

office alone, and peace of mind when it comes to outlet overload.

Another thing we purchased a few years ago is a generator. One winter we

had ice storms and no electricity for 2 days in our neighborhood. A

transcriptionist friend lost all of her tropical fish because of 10 days

with no power, but she moved herself, her boxer dog and her parrot into our

guest room, her CPU into the office, and we were both able to continue

working without a hitch. It sounds like you're in Florida, but we had power

outages when we lived there as well. I find it's better to never need that

generator but know it's there, than to not have it and not be able to work.

My desk is in a big bay window at the front of our house, and I am able to

see outside to the street to monitor who's coming up the walk. The best part

of this placement is the green everywhere I look when I glance away from my

monitor. It's so restful to old, overworked eyes.

Congratulations on your new home, Judy! That's so exciting!

You know, I really don't have a recommendation for a brand name, although I

know Honda sells portable ones. Check out what's available at Home Depot or

one of the other large home improvement/do-it-yourself chains. You can get

various sizes, depending on your electrical requirements in the event of a

power failure. In many cases you can recoup the cost of the generator by

continuing to work during a couple of long power outages. And of course it

is tax deductible as a business expense.

We got ours years ago on a fluke. A friend of my husband's loved to go to

auctions of confiscated items, put on by either the DEA or the local

sheriff's office. He bid $400 on and won (for us) a brand-new unit large

enough to light a commercial greenhouse, and powered by natural gas.

Obviously it was intended for the propagation of marijuana, but the growers

were apprehended before the generator was installed. We had an electrician

work on electrical installation, and have it hooked into our natural gas

supply. It has a switch to turn it on when the power goes out, and a safety

switch to prevent generated electricity from traveling back down the lines

and electrocuting workers trying to get the neighborhood back up to power.

We can power the whole house with this puppy, and because it's so noisy

(sounds like a Mack truck) we've provided power to the neighbors in exchange

for their putting up with the din.

Re: office question

I've been thinking about the generator. Any suggestions on what kind or are

they all the same. Size, brand, etc?

I am definitely getting one. I had one in a lamp that got way too hot, but

I'm going to put a ceiling one in, over my desk. That's what I have in my

sewing room and it's far enough away not to feel hot.

A generator sounds like a good idea. I was thinking even for heat. I live in

WNY and we are known for our cold, snowy winters. In the house I am in now we

have a wood burning stove, but nothing like that in the new house. So this is a

good idea for both reasons. Thanks

Oh nooo! As you said I have no choice becaue the room is already there, but it

is in the back of the house. I can see why that is a disadvantage because I

can't see when people come or what is going on in the street side. But then I

thought " well, atleast I get to look at my beautiful back yard. Two big,

gorgeous maple trees there " . But then I read where you had to cut down your

trees!! LOL Well, I have no choice in the matter though, so will just try to

enjoy looking into the back yard. :)

Playing with the desk placement will be the key for me then. The back of the

house is behind a little park. I will have him put a window in that side so

that I can look at the park. And I think I will put my desk on that wall. Or

have an L shaped desk, then I can look in two directions.

Oh oooh, here I go thinking out loud. You guys have given me so much to think

about, this is exciting! Oh and cross ventilation. Never even thought about

that. That is something to think about too! Thanks

Judy

Re: office question

I know what you mean Margaret about the floor, I accidentally overwater too,

no problem! I can't wait to replace my worn out wood floors on the first

floor, this stuff is great. My husband did suggest having my office in the

front of the house. No, no, I wanted to see out a window into my big

beautiful tree in the back and see my flower beds. I can't tell you how

many times I have to get up and look out the front windows to see who's in

the driveway or what the damn dogs are barking at! :) On top of that, we

just had to have my beautiful tree cut down because it was destroying my

drains and my desk isn't even near the window to see the flower beds

anymore. So much for well laid plans! Judy doesn't have a choice because

her sunroom is already there but she can play with desk placement. I can

look to the right to see out a window and to the left is the hall, which has

a window at the end. I have to say that I did do well in the window

placement as far as really getting great cross ventilation and sunlight! I

would definitely be lost without being able to see outside. Actually, when

they were building my second story, I had to move my office into my sunroom

and I loved it! Not enough wall space for shelves, etc. because it's all

windows on three sides but I felt like I was working outdoors!

Jayni, That sounds like a wonderful idea. Especially since I like to feed the

birds and the cats love thinking that they can chase the birds. I have one bird

feeder that is about 6 inches from the window. The birds like to get on that

feeder, but when the cats get too excited they jump at the window and the birds

all scatter. If the birds couldn't see in, then they wouldn't know to leave

when the cats jump.

Also, since living here, with the cats inside and the birds outside, I have

become a bird lover, the ones that come into my feeders anyway. I bought a very

cheap, child's set of binoculars and keep them on my desk. They only bring

things 4 times closer, whereas the adult ones are usually 8 times or more. I

first got them so that I could really see the markings on the birds, to try to

keep a list of all of the birds that had come in my yard. But they also work

great when I see something or someone suspicious in my neighborhood. Much like

the neighborhood watch programs people talk about. As a matter of fact, I just

looked out at my gardenia bush. It just started blooming yesterday and just now

I noticed another bloom. Just to make sure, I checked with the binoculars and

sure enough, another bloom. I sure do love working at home, with all of the

animals and flowers, etc. That and getting so used to my docs could be what's

causing my not " getting into the groove " problem. Guess I had better get back

to work, Margaret

I've had reflective coating on my windows for years because of Houston's

solar screens last summer, and they have that same feature. I can see out

just fine, but no one can see ME!

Re: office question

The other item isn't really an item as much as it is an idea. Everyone is

talking about having a window on the front of the house to see who's coming

and going, etc. I have exactly the opposite setup. I sit as far away from

where anyone might possibly see me if they come to my front door. You see,

I have a neighbor (the only one I have) who does not work except on the

weekends. She (and her three kids!) sometimes " drops by " and NEVER LEAVES.

I have stopped answering the door for her. I pretend I'm not home,

otherwise I wouldn't get any work done. Fortunately, she's moving next

weekend - to the other side of Atlanta (about 70 miles away) - and I won't

have to deal with that anymore. In my situation, though, I have a total of

17 windows in my 2-bedroom 1-story house and 50 acres of pasture (complete

with cows) to gaze upon, so it's not a problem if I want to look outside.

: ) Maybe if you have to be able to see out, you could have them install

some one-way glass in !

what your new neighbors are going to be like ... trust me!

LOL , that is funny. I can picture my husband reacting that way. I love

the idea of the modular furniture though. Being able to change things if you

have a need to. Another thing I will have to make a note for. :))

Judy

RE: office question

Judy, another thing I really love about our office (we moved from the den to

our living room, which was used only on Christmas Day when my in-laws came to

visit), is that we purchased modular furniture which we can rearrange in many

different configurations. In the almost 3 years we've been in this large, airy

room we have rearranged at least four times, according to our needs at the time.

My desk is like a Pullman kitchen - about 6 feet of desks on either side, with a

shelf topper on both sides. My references fit beautifully under those shelves.

I have a 4-foot smaller desk making a " T " with the side desks, and an attached

articulating keyboard tray so I can constantly vary the height and tilt. I have

drawers/filing cabinets under the desktops, fitted with casters so I can

reposition them to where I need them. I found the general style I wanted in the

OfficeMax catalog, and then waited for them to go on sale. Overall, I think I

saved 40% on the total cost of the furniture, and if I need additional pieces I

just order the single item. My husband does have this strange tic, though,

whenever I mention that I'd like to rearrange the furniture to make the office

more efficient! I think my next move will be out the door, with a little

propulsion from him!

I'm very interested in the idea of the parquet floors. Carpeting is so

difficult to keep up. Cross-cut shreds of paper are strewn around our shredder

and they track everywhere. ( " Oh, Honey! I've been thinking about how to make

the office more efficient, and you'll really love this idea! " Yeah, sure!)

I'm really glad that everyone's ideas have helped. The glare on the screen

was one thing I thought I had taken care of but then I kept moving the desk.

And my anti glare cover for the screen didn't help. But, as I said before,

my flat screen doesn't have as much of a problem and I don't know why. I

have found the a window directly behind is a major problem. Oddly, my worst

window is a north facing window but only if it's directly behind me. I have

an east facing window behind me now and there's no problem, even in the

a.m., even with my tree gone and even with the blinds open, however it's

across the room. I still think it's the different monitor.
