Expert Advice for your Lawn & Garden TV Host of Today's Homeowner® and home expert for The Weather ChannelLawn and Garden, Contest, Garden Sheds Published 08/31/2007 by Danny Lipford
shed: [noun, from the Middle English shadde] a small building used for shelter or storage.
There’s a shed hidden somewhere in the backyard of almost every home. They come in all shapes and designs, from plain and utilitarian to elaborate and ornate. Sheds can be much more than a place to stash rakes and shovels. They can serve as a woodworker’s sanctuary, a gardener’s oasis, a writer’s retreat, or even a cozy guesthouse.
Building a shed is the perfect project for homeowners who want to test their carpentry skills. And since a shed is essentially a house in miniature, you’ll learn about everything from foundations to framing to roofing in the process.
So here’s the chance to showoff your shed. Simply send us an e-mail at contest@dannylipford.com and attach a picture of your shed. The most creative and unique entries will be posted on the website, and the winner will receive the Rubbermaid Supreme Garage Organization Kit. This heavy duty 19 piece set will allow you to organize your shed like never before.
Since we don’t want to leave those of you out who are in dire need of a new shed. You may also send us a picture of the dilapidated eyesore in your backyard that the neighbors have threatened to burn down, or the pile of stuff you plan to put in your shed when you get around to building it. The most desperate entry will win an autographed copy of Joe Truini’s book, Building a Shed, to guide you on your way.
Entries must be received before October 1, 2007, to be eligible to win. See contest rules for details.

We have no shed to show. We lost our shed in a major home flood in 2003. It was moved by the high water and destroyed. We sure could use a new shed after all we have been thorough.
