Terminology Question

"Sheds are what a farmer adds to a barn when he or she built the barn too small in the first place.
hugs, Brandi"

Good one!

My prior comments notwithstanding, I do have a tendency to say to myself "OK, time to head for the barn" when I finish mowing with the 'ol 2520....

I agree with Sailorman, pick your battles wisely. No matter what you call it, she is still right...

My grandfather raised and trained horses when I was young. He had a large stable 120x60, for brood mares my granny called a "barn" he called it "the w.h.o.r.e. house" granny didn't like that, but they each never changed their position!

So I agree with the guy's that say, let it go

What to they say about being single vs married, it's the difference between being lonely or aggravated, sooo settle for being aggravated since you are going to be wrong.

Rename it to combine both of your views and call it a "sharn" shed and barn.

 

[beppington]

Call it "Terry" or "Chris". Avoids "barn" & "shed" & avoids implying it's either masculine or feminine.

Bed?.

For example, if it has concrete, electric, and overhead doors, I'd call it a garage or shop.

LD1,
So a diary barn, for milking cows, that has concrete for sanitary reasons is called a dairy garage? A dairy shop?

When I finish renovating it, it will have heat, insulation, full wiring, overhead doors, etc. Maybe "shop" is the best option but I think I will take the most common and practical advice and just continue trying to think twice and say "barn". Even when I get it heated and insulated, I'm not crazy about sleeping out there.

By this definition I guess it is a barn, 'cause it sure is ugly right now (but I intend to fix it). :laughing:

What you need to do is tell your wife how much you love her and since this is such a sore subject that because of your love for her you are going to fix it up and turn it into a shop. Tell her that love is the most important thing and money is no object. Of course not to be mistaken as anything other than a shop it needs lots of shop tools. :thumbsup:

Sounds vaguely familiar to the "dinner then supper" vs. "lunch then dinner" debate my wife and I once had. Just learn to call it something different, so long as you know what it is. LOL

 

[forgeblast]

Lol I think in my head a lot that my wife "may not be always right but she is never wrong". I guess I just need to be closer to the end of my life to say it to her lol.
Its one of those yes dear things...say what she wants to hear and call it what you want.

Does it have overhead "garage" doors.

If NO, then I would call it a barn.

BUT IF it has all 3 (concrete, electric, AND overhead doors) then I would call it a garage with cows in it:thumbsup:

Cowrage?

Oh wait, that could be pronounced to sound like an angry cow.

The definition is about the same for both.

The barn shed, otherwise known as a gambrel shed, could be one of the best designs for a storage house. It has two pitches on each side of its roof, giving it the barn-like appearance. The main difference between the gable shed and the gambrel shed is the roof. While it seems quite complicated to build, the barn shed is easy to do. In building this outdoor structure, you better not rush in doing the rafters. You need to see that they are uniform, and a good way of accomplishing this is to build an initial that may be used as a template for the others. When they are all the same, you would have a beautiful level roof for the barn shed.

When it comes to women, You can be right or you can be happy. You can not be both. I would call it a barn or a shop but does it really matter?
