Gardens are pretty wild around here, which is why we have bears. In fact, the culprit has stopped strimming now and since I did not kill them, I assume the bears did. Free jam sandwiches for my ursine friends.
My office is a mezzanine extension on the side of the house, the roof contiguous with the main house roof, and of course, when we had everything refurbished had the ceiling re-insulated with whatever the latest is in plasterboard technology and the gaps stuffed full of glass fibre. Alas, this seems to mean it gets hotter. The problem is that it's the side of the house, so the main wall is in full sun for three quarters of the day. On the plus side, it has a shady balcony over the back garden/driveway which is my outdoor office and prime cat sleeping zone.
