  1. An idea for a book. The role of the shed in human history. That's got to be a book worth reading.

  2.  @Niinsa62  Thanks for that. That is interesting. When the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain they built houses like they did back home. This included the Grubenhaus which was a small structure partially sunk into the ground. Back in Europe they had used to keep their cattle in in winter. But as British winters are not usually as harsh as those on the continent they started using them for other things instead of cows, such as the weaving frame. The grubenhaus became what would later be called the shed. Interestingly in the 10th century there was a change in the way weaving was done and it went from being something the wife did to keep the family clothed to something the husband did as a job. I like to think that whoever came up with the change did so in the grubenhaus.
