The garden shed, Temple of Manliness?

A shed to a man can be his getaway from the world. A cavern full of bounty, containing items such as his toolbox, golf clubs and lawnmower. A retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle of the Real World, a lair smelling of dry grass, creosote and BO.
However, there is another contender for the title, Temple of Manliness and it has to be said, is the favoured option in my book. That contender is of course, the garage.
The shed is a temporary structure, confined in size by the limits of its wooden structure and is susceptible to the elements. A garage, however, is built from solid brick, has a proper roof, and in some cases, can even fit in the car.
There is almost no end to the amount of manly stuff that can be stored in a garage - golf clubs, lawnmower, toolbox, beer fridge, Harley-Davidson, half-full paint tins and even pieces of the engine that for some reason left over when you decided to dismantle it.
Oh, and it can fit a hammock too.

While I would never seek to blaspheme against the beliefs of my brethern of the Sacred Garage, and while I hold true to the tenents of their temple and believe that indeed the Garage is a temple unto manhood, two theological points must be made. Firstly, not all sheds are created equal. Some are indeed flimsy and not worthy of much adoration, yet woe betide he who judges all sheds by the standards of the lowliest wooden temple, for he has not yet seen the magnificent heights that the shed can attain:
Secondly, the shed's got a garden between itself and She Who Must Be Obeyed, while usually the garage opens onto the kitchen...0 -

Hmmmm what about the garage/shed combo?
Along the style of that seen in the movie "Gran Torino", which has to be a lifes' work of collecting the right tools for every job, each with it's own place, bringing a sense of order to the world.
That is not disimilar to my Dad's shed except Dad's is a whole lot bigger, it is mamoth, must get pics next time I am home
(in fairness Dad uses it for business as well but if you are looking for something obscure and useful then it is the place to find it)
*edit: actually that could easily be my Dad in that pic but there aren't too many Hmong kids in Mayo and Clint is taller0 -

My father has a garage that can and does fit three cars in it, as well as a 10m long work bench.
The work bench is littered with all sorts of tools and stuff, and underneath the work bench there are yellow wood planks which are about 6 inches thick.
A few years ago a yellow wood coffee table emerged from under the work bench.
He had to get a new garage built at the beach house, as he bought my mother a car that drives on the beach.
So, now the old garage is just full of stuff.
Does he ever use the garage for manly stuff?
Yes, he parks his car there. 0 -
