Sheds
They are the greatest invention ever. I've just acquired my first one (and before my 40th birthday too). I've mentioned this to a large number of friends and the only response I've had from any of them (as long as they're male) is utter jealousy. It's not an age thing or a turning into your dad thing, it's just that every man regardless of creed, colour, sexual orientation or number of limbs was born to have a shed!

I'm going to hang some tools up on hooks in there now and perhaps sort some nails of different sizes into jam jars too!

i asked my bf
asked my bf (who's 32) to turn around and read this post. he read it and just started grinning and nodding his head. he said he can't explain it.

mind you, we live in an apartment. if there were a way, i'd get him a shed to put on our 3rd floor balcony.

I disagree.
Sheds are full of spiders.

Replace shed with greenhouse = win.
full stop.

my mum has a shed
It's her potting shed, and there are signs everywhere saying so, it was my dad's but in the end he relented and gave it to her but it's full of my old bike at the moment!

I want a shed as well
Despite not having the space. It is not an urge I can explain.

mmmm sheds mmmmm
i have a big shed. 5mx5m designed by myself, planted roof (sedums and succulents), insulated walls, power, a fridge, darts board (PDC distance with lights) and all sorts!

I bloody love it. It really isn't a threat to tell me to "sort it out or i'll make you sleep in the shed" - what with the cat5 socket and the digital radio.....

I never knew how good a shed would make me feel. aaahhhhh.

If you want a shed, just go do it. Best thing you will ever do.

Re: nails in jam jars
Don't forget to put a couple of screws through the metal jam jar lid and attach them to the underside of your shed shelf, thus leaving more room for other essential items on top of the shelf.

Mmmmm... sheds.

I've had a number of sheds over the years
The first six served me well. Shed Seven was pants though.

Shed Envy
I would have a massive eff off shed in my back garden if only I wasn't renting.
It's true, I grinned broadly when I saw the word 'shed'. It's another word for 'male sanctuary'.
