The Shed on the Drive 🛖
As you come up our drive there's a small brick building that we call the shed. It's not actually a shed; it's a lovely little insulated brick building, with electrics and water, that's about the size of a single garage.
Apparently the guy who converted our house from a working barn, back in the early 80's, built the shed as a bathroom to accompany the caravan he was living in, on the drive. 🤷🏻♂️
We thought about turning it into a small guest suite for when we have friends/family to stay, but we already have a guest room, so figured it was moot. We're also lucky enough to have a double garage (which I turned into a workshop), 2 stables, and a fairly large tin barn. So we didn't need it for storage, either.
After some thought about what to do with the shed we decided to turn it into a playroom for the kids, while they're young enough to enjoy it. At one end is a craft table, and some shelves with all kinds of board games and trinkets for the to tinker with. At the other end is a small pool table that doubles up as a foosball table.
We also keep a small freezer in there that contains the dog's food. Whenever I go out there to top up the dog food we keep in the house, I always stop and play a couple frames of pool. It's now gotten to the point where I go out there to practice!
I've always enjoyed pool and snooker - I used to play a lot of both when I was younger. When I retire and no longer have a need for a home office, I'm 100% going to turn it into a pool room. But for now, I'll continue enjoying the kids' playroom more than they do!
