   I'm with Suzanne on this one...although the motorhome stuff sounds great
   too.
   I'm currently working out of the house for two clients.  Both are short term
   gigs; although, one is already leading into a second contract. I like
   working out of the house because my creative juices have never turned on and
   off according to a normal work schedule.  I can also sit out in the living
   room with a log crackling in the fireplace and my wife nearby reading a
   book, or catching up on the latest gizmos from HGTV or Iron Chef
   America......and me on the recliner with the laptop catching up on some last
   minute editing.  During the day, I can take breaks while watching the
   Cardinals, sparrows, chickadees and Blue Jays buzz around the feeders while
   the squirrels try to figure out a way past the "Squirrel Blockers."
   The beauty of the relationship I have with my clients is they could care
   less where I do the work because I always meet deadlines and I always
   accommodate their last minute changes, even when I was visiting the grand
   kids in Michigan (my clients are in Vermont).
   I don't work every evening; although, I do put in a lot of 12 hour days.  I
   am active (and getting more active) i the local art scene and we do a lot of
   stuff on the weekends. That really helps drive away those lonely home office
   blues.
   I've also found that drinking moderate quantities of excellent Vermont micro
   brews is effective....something you can't do driving to your next gig in the
   Mini Wini...
