Eastcourt journeyman Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 99 Hungarian Gypsy I built a structure on our property to house two horses and a six month supply of hay. Since it was bigger than a shed but smaller than a barn, my wife called it a "sharn". Did she coin a new word? Copy Link to Clipboard Re: It's a sharn. R.

Eastcourt journeyman Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 99 Hungarian Gypsy yes. It's a lean-to shed. And my structure also has a lean-to. But it is also warm and comfy and the inside walls are lined with native wood. In other words, it's just so damn cute. That's why Jill called it a "sharn". -Old (square-headed) Blue Copy Link to Clipboard Re: It's a sharn. tsuwm #171078 11/01/2007 8:08 PM Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague BranShea Carpal Tunnel BranShea Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5,295 Netherlands, the Hague Il pleure dans mon coueur comme il pleut sur la ville, (Quoted from 'The Longest Day') Copy Link to Clipboard Re: It's a sharn.

Smaller than a barn. Everyone must build a sharn. Listen folks, I am making a new word. Now, we must start small. Is "sharn" small enough? 'cain't find it in Webster. 'Cain't find it in Oxford. "Caint find it in Wikepediadom. Get on the "SHARN" bandwagon and give my lovely wife, Jill, her due. Build an outhouse and call it a "SHARN" goshdarnit and by criminy. Last edited by R.
