You might be very surprised about this… Here is what folks at Shedworking said: “According to a new survey of 3,000 chaps by National Shed Week sponsor Cuprinol Sprayable as reported in The Sun (as they put it ‘Wood you believe it?’…), over a lifetime, the average man spends just under a year of his life in his shed or to put it another way, three hours and 20 minutes a week.”
What’s interesting is that the survey also revealed a tenth of them have a sofa and television inside too. Can you believe that??? There is no survey yet on how much time women spend in the shed. It would be very interesting to know.
What are your thought about that? Feel free to leave a comment.

The transformation of the older sheds into the latest sheds has embarked a new history in the uses of these sheds. Modern sheds offer the owners and residents of the houses a variety of options to be benefited from.
The history tells that the older sheds were primarily used for storing the things. Recent sheds are not limited to just storing the mere items and heavy equipments. A house within a house is an amazing idea that is well fulfilled by the construction of a modern shed. The shed can be used by the kids for playing area. For your girl, the house may serve as a girl playing house. For your boy, it may give the look of a fort thing. When kids grow, other games can also be well played. Indoor games like table tennis or video games can be enjoyed. A person gets bored doing activities in the same household things. Hence a shed in the environment of a garden is a place to relax out of the house hold thing. The pleasant view of the flowers and plants are ever pleasing to the eyes. The guests visiting you can rest there and enjoy the freshness of the natural scenery. For the college going adults, the shed also serves useful purposes. Adults can enjoy it as a study room for doing various kinds of activities.
It can be used as an art room by the adult family members who are interested in drawing the paintings and doing art work. The purpose of these sheds does not end here. People can enjoy as they want and when they want. A little guest room in the garden for one or two guests or a family can be a great idea as well. Your guests can easily enjoy with the family, can do things which they can’t do in the house hold in every one’s presence. In short, they can enjoy their privacy very well. Shed can also be used as a TV room or a game room. The idea is to enjoy the things among the lush green garden in the open area. There is much difference between watching the T.V in routine house hold and in the shed among your garden.

Here’s a great article by Lloyd Burrell specifically looking at how shed lovers should arrange their working atmosphere to ensure success. Here’s a snippet from Lloyd Burrell’s blog:
You should be facing the door when sitting at your desk, as this is where your business will symbolically “come in”. When facing the door you are welcoming business into your life, rather than turning your back on it. You need to create a solid “mountain” of supportive energy behind you. Having the corner of the room behind you accomplishes this. This can be reinforced with a good, tall plant in a sturdy pot or a large painting of a mountain or a sculpture.
I found idea of feng shui very inspiring. It’s worth a read.
