Creating a Summer Outdoor Home Office Showroom

The first step in creating an outdoor office is to find a space that will encourage productivity.  I found the ideal space in my backyard, an outdoor garden room complete with pond, waterfall, shade tree, and patio space all surrounded with a rock garden.  Next, a portable office is a must.  We organized our home office in the library with eReaders, a Netbook computer, a portable i-projector, desk, and lighting.  This equipment is enough to transport to the backyard for a weekend of work-at-home productivity.  I plan on utilizing backyard energy in for the electricity to power the equipment.  The surrounding environment provides the backdrop for energy production as well as a great work space.
