| The winning shed |
Caught shed of the Year last night on Channel 4. Programmes like these are always on my must watch list I just love ordinary people building stuff from sheds, boats and houses I think I am a frustrated builder of something at heart.
More than 2,500 creations from amateur ‘sheddies’ entered to win Channel 4’s ‘Amazing Spaces Shed of the Year’ hoping to win the £1,000 top prize.
We once had a shed it was nothing like these some guy came along and through it up in an hour and I proceeded to fill it with junk. I could only wish to have sat back and let my mind create something to be proud of but a shed was a shed back then for the majority.
Sheds are back in favour as extra space be it for the kids, a hobby space, office space or just a place to chill out you can get something made to your taste. From a basic shed, we are all familiar with to a mega shed or bespoke built. All the shed’s on ‘Shed of the Year’ where self-build projects that in some case were years in the making.
The winner was Walter Micklethwait who created Inshriach Distillery all from a run-down bird shed using mostly recycled items. His shed was split into four defined sections with a shop, ladies waiting room, saloon and the gin distillery in a Wild West-themed gin joint it was good but not my favourite.

| My favourite |
That accolade goes to the Owl House owned by Tracy Caroline Lewis I just loved it and it was wheelchair friendly a plus with my wife also wheelchair dependent. Overlooking coastal sand dunes made entirely from cob, recycled plywood, collected recycled glass bottles, and even has a grass living roof used for relaxing in. It was beautiful and I was jealous.
Both the aforementioned shed’s received three votes each from the six members of the panel so it was down to the public votes each had received on winning their individual categories. The Owl House losing by over 300 votes was a disappointment but good luck to the winner and I hope his year as winner will be interesting.
