[gsport]

i have two shops and still havn't got the wife to stop calling them "sheds" it's bad enough she calls the back paved area the parking lot...

 

[Junkman]

I'll trade wives with you, or you can just buy a roll of duct tape...

Don't ask her to understand you unless she asks you to understand her........

 

[hypnotoad]

She can call it whatever she wants, she's up on the scaffolding helping me build mine.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Who cares what she calls it, just go hang out there and you will not have to listen to whatever it is she is calling it!

 

[marty_p]

I agree with Uncle Buck.

Besides, you have no choice BUT to put up with her comments -- if she leaves you, she will get one of your "sheds" by order of the court!

My neighbor always calls my one car garage a shed....but he doesn't have a garage to speak of

 

[HOTFR8]

I have a Garage that holds 3 cars. I would prefer to be in my 60 x 30 foot Shed than a garage. I guess it is just in the name.

As an Aussie we call it a Shed and the Garage is the place to keep the daily driver.

So Gsport I would not be to worried........

Oh my neighbor called my driveway a racetrack

 

[BigK600]

I like to call it a Car Hole

 

[skeletonizer]

To get her to stop you could start calling something near and dear to her by an annoying name.

I would give examples but i don't want to offend anyone.

Whatever - just make sure she keeps her sh!t out!!!

[Fatbrosracing]

Like Hotfr8 said, here in Oz they are all sheds and we are ****** proud of them!

 

[ozzirt]

A shed is a shed is a shed, call it what you like.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

E-Tek's got it all worked out.

 

[Topcat]

Yep - Another Aussie

SHED dunmatter how big it gets over ere it's a SHED, I've been all over this forum and it's wild the things that get done and i have been planning my makeover but for the life on me I can't bring myself to call my shed "The Garage" mind you it's me office N shed and painten the floors.....I'm coming to terms with it!

I think E-Tek cover everything...... Whatever - just make sure she keeps her sh!t out!!!

 

[jay50]

It could be worst; she could be calling you a no-good SOB for spending all of HER money on that shed.

Just put a bed in there and invite her to your love nest....

A friend of mine who helped me set the trusses refers to my garage as:

"One fancy dog house".

Note: I do not have a dog.

 

[ozzirt]

Here's the difference.....

[oldbones]

Lemme guess, she must be from the upper midwest, right?

I've recently built a shop that I'm a bit proud of, and my friend from Minnesota just can't seem to understand why I want to wring her neck when she calls it a "shed"!

Barn: Where the farm critters are kept
Shed: Where the farm tractors and implements are kept
Shop: AKA "man-cave": where the man goes to get away from wife/gf in order to knock down a few cold brews, smoke a good cigar.

It could be worse.

My wife calls mine " Your play pen".
