That is really a professional looking home office.My home office doubles as a room that excess household items get stored in. Extra chairs, floor fans, the vacuum cleaner, and kids toys all seem to be drawn to my office like a magnet. I know its not the best situation, but it least I have a place (albeit cluttered) where I can file important papers & run the rental business. My wife and kids think since I'm not working in my office 24 hours a day, that I must not be using it, so its fair game as a storage closet.Since we get better reception than you do, I use a cell phone to conduct all rental business. That way, no matter where I am, that can be my mobile office.I also keep a small lap desk in my pick-up for doing business when I'm on the road and I need to write things down.You're article is tempting me to buy a new fax/copy machine. My old one kicked the bucket about a year ago, so I'm long overdue. Wow. That is really a professional looking home office.

Somehow that isn’t the picture I get! Seriously though, another great post. Working from home is a big adjustment for most people, having a dedicated space makes it much easier. Good job, Connie!
