Synopsis It has been said that a shed is to a man what a handbag is to a woman - both contain all the essentials for surviving in the modern world and in the same way that no decent man would ever consider looking in a woman's handbag uninvited, so no reasonable woman would dream of setting foot in a man's shed. This book is a study of over 40 men and their sheds around the UK, a quirky look at the personalities and the passions hidden within the shed, whether it is used for eccentric inventions, as a chapel, a housing for a milk bottle collection, an allotment shed, a home for exotic reptiles or a place to make music. The fascinating story of each bloke and his shed is accompanied by photographs of the inner sanctum and of the customized exteriors

Synopsis This book examines the quirky phenomenon of sheds and sheddism, arguing that a bloke's shed begins where a boy's room leaves off, providing a home to the prized objects and boyish dreams there is seldom room for inside the house. Delving into the murky world of the home-from-home at the end of the garden, and telling the stories of the men who spend their time within, the book features structures ranging from a mock-Tudor pigeon loft to a reconstructed Iron Age Roundhouse, hobbies that range from soda siphon collecting to model railway building, and shed-based businesses as diverse as a funeral directors and a shrimp-potters, shed owners everywhere will feel completely at home. An ideal gift for blokes of all ages.

Totally disagree Mike, pent rooves are far better and are certainly easier to build.
