Super interesting. Been reading some Alan Watts lately, and he points out that while you go to "work", you "play" the piano, you don't "work" the piano. You don't "work" basketball, while still expending effort and incurring risk!

Life is like a musical piece. If it were all about getting to the destination, then the best composers would be those with the fastest songs. Play is about the journey, rather than the result.

In this sense, shed-building is somewhere between work and play. The act is enjoyed roughly as much as the product.

One of those, "play a little and then use it to play other things".

Now I want to build a shed.
