26. A man's trash

It's another man's treasure.

If you're like most men, and I am, you probably have a lot of "junk" that your wife doesn't want in your house or garage. Why not build a safe little shed like this just for you?

Create your own storage unit, workshop, man cave or even better a combination of all three. Park near or behind the garage and cover it with "old" signs for the effect. Just make sure you put a good lock on both sides of the door.

Sticks and stones do more than break bones

One of the most inexpensive ways to build cool sheds is to use the many materials you probably already have on your property.

it's bigger inside

Be sure to check local codes first, but then you can build a shed that even as a small house comes with most if not all of the amenities and will provide your family with a comfortable place to stay when they come to visit.
