I&#x27;m self employed and have an away from home office also.<p>Like OP it makes a break between work and home. Plus, a few times clients have dropped by to see something. Also, I get dressed and see neighbors from adjoining offices on a regular basis. So I don&#x27;t become a totally socially inept nerd.<p>I don&#x27;t have any kids but if I continue with this, I fully expect to get <i>more</i> than 43,000 worth of value out of the office over a 10 year period.
