Living in a tiny space has its benefits and its drawbacks. One drawback is that when the weather outside is somewhat cool or rainy or windy, spreading the living/working space to the outdoors becomes more challenging and we find that we’re cooped up in the house.

Sometimes, for days and days (or even weeks) at a time.

Today, it’s finally the perfect temperature outside with no wind and not a chance of rain for days, so I grab my chair and portable desk and set up my telecommuting workstation outdoors…

Then a bloke starts up a leaf blower for an hour…

And another 75 feet away starts up a power washer.

**sigh**
