We currently have an external garage type building in our back garden. The previous owner was an avid carpenter & used it as a workshop, hence the workshop-esque look about it.
Neither my husband or I have any interest in woodwork, and so we're currently using it as a shed basically. But at 20ft x 10ft it's a rather large shed, and a complete waste of space!
Recently we've found a need for the space, an office. Our business needs to go online only for a year until our new premises are ready next summer. So we need somewhere we can house our stock and I can work from.
The inner is breeze block which we plan to plasterboard etc, but the main problem is the doorway:
The door is chunky wooden construction. Again, made by the avid carpenter who lived here before.
There is nearly an inch gap between the doors, allowing dirt, spiders, slugs and more to enter the building. As a shed that's no problem, but it wouldn't be suitable for the office.
The above is the inside of the door.
So, we're not sure whether to try to convert the door into a better, more sealed door. If so, how would we go about this?
Alternatively, ripping it out, blocking it up and installing a UPVC door. Which would be costly. Again, how would we go about doing that?
We're not sure what the best option is.... any ideas?
