Barns

We have a shed that's shaped like a barn, so I call it a barn.  It's a rather large shed considering we live in a city, but it's only 160 square feet on the main floor. The loft theoretically could double the floor space.
Regardless, there's plenty of room for my stand behind lawnmower. I tend to put stuff in there that has moved from the basement and the garage, but for the most part it's outdoors stuff for kids. It's too cold and too hot through the year to be good for practical storage. Would be nice to have electricity out there, but I would be tempted to have A/C and heat out there as well. Going back to my days of sharing a room with an older sibling, I've had many daydreams of having a space to call my own. Silly to have such thoughts as an adult with a house, but the thoughts linger.
We cleaned out the barn yesterday, and I got those crazy thoughts about how it would be cool to make the shed into a mini-house. It's not practical to run electricity and plumbing, but add insulation, paneling and incorporate camping technology in lieu of standard plumbing and electricity...
In all seriousness, I know it's silly to think of such things as being viable as permanent living arrangement given the unnecessary self-imposed burdens in addition to the fact that nothing is gained by the experience, but there are a lot of masochists out there that enjoy misery.
