Let me set the scene that will be familiar to anyone who sometimes works from home: several days ago I was well and truly up against it. Deadlines were looming from every angle, and to compound matters, I was struggling to keep focused. I knew that hard work and concentration were the only things that would ensure all my work was done on time, and to a high standard. To do this it would be necessary to build a massive fort in my living room using all of my furniture.
The results were immediately obvious. Within the isolated confines of my Workfort I was able to get everything done with a minimum of fuss, crippling lower-back pain allowing. I knew then that I had to share my discovery with the world. Luckily when building my Workfort I had been blessed with good sense and foresight, and had documented every step. Several joyless hours with Windows Movie Maker later, and I was ready to share the wealth of my knowledge:
I hope you all have fun constructing your own fortresses of solitude.

Expect a workfort (although I may build a boozefort, as it is the weekend) from me on Monday.
Amazing! Even more glorious than you described.
Wish I was a freelancer.
Well, there’s no wrong time to build a fort – why not make one in the evening? You could build on during the week and not go to work, of course. They’d understand if you sent them pictures.
Von – cannot wait! Boozeforts are the Workfort’s cooler, more laid-back older brother.
Alex – do it – and send pictures / video I hope that ES becomes the primary source of Fort info online.
I have got to get me one of these! I love the touch with the airbed which presumably made it very cosy
Oh. My. Sweet Jebus!
You’re on Von! lets do this!!!
Is it acceptable to build a boozefort when you work in an office? I have my eye on a conference room that would be much improved by the addition of turrets and a keg of cider.
