Hi Ade , well said  about the items merely "en route" to the next time it might be needed , I have lots of this stuff about and in the big 'master plan' most of it will be used ......one day  :clap:.
 To confuse matters more about sheds and workshops , I call the metalworking shop the garage and the wood working shop the shed  :scratch: , mainly so I don't confuse myself :thumbup:

 Cheers Mick

I have a wood store (wood is for burning to keep us warm) makes good handles for hammers as well
The wife thinks any building in the garden is a shed
My garage (shop) is what she calls  "IN THERE" :jaw: :jaw: :jaw:

Hi there, all,

I think it depends on who your talking to.  As I suggested in my Tin Shed Project thread, I don't think it's a good idea (this is in the UK) to use the word 'workshop' in an application for Planning Consent - there's a danger the Planners will think you're going to import noise and pollution on an industrial scale into a residential area.  Best to call it a 'garden shed for domestic storage and hobby purposes'.

Actually, if you take account of the origin of the words, you could validly refer to it as a 'laboratory' i.e. a place of work or activity.  Nowadays, we use the term 'laboratory' narrowly to cover activities like academic or other scientific or engineering research on a professional scale (a 'boffinarium'!) but it might not always have had such a narrow meaning.
