A middle class guy with a shed?

Probably.


Why not? You are mistaken. In Britain, to my knowledge, lots of people of all classes have sheds, and are not ashamed to mention them. Many people (mainly men) are fans of sheds and will eagerly discuss them. It is like being a fan of cars, boats, lawns, plants, trees, whatever. Male hobby interest. In the famous Monty Python comedy series, there was a character who had two sheds, called Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson. Thus listing a shed alongside family members etc may be seen as semi-jocular.

My shed is like this, but not so clean looking.

Sacred ground

If you want to know, it would behoove you to ask him.

Maybe he means a sidewalk shed...which seems to greatly resemble scaffolding.

Or maybe he meant it as that he has a roof over his head, and doesn't mean any of the regular kinds of sheds/workshops, whatever.

Some of us on a2k, me, for example, sometimes play a bit with words.


Or, my goodness, maybe a watershed.. (I'm kidding, kidding)

Almost certainly.

In the context of the American male, there is often also a small work area for doing basic jobs with tools.

I've never even heard the word used before in the context of outdoor concerts. But I don't claim to be young and hip.



Like centrox mentioned, it could have been included to add a bit of levity or humor.

And like chai2 mentioned, sacred guy space.

My guess is a little bit of each.
