d100 Things in Sheds and Shacks

This is very interesting for post apoc games and even fallout
I like that various cults might have been legit or survive over centuries

Proposed Atomic Cults For Nuclear Waste Management

Also Australian TV Bush Mechanics a good watch for improvising tech
from worlds oldest survivalists and feel of real wastelands

There are more sheds in Australia than people possibly (fact I just made up).
In rural areas, they are everywhere even in long-unused bushland.
So they are a common sight and this is to help explore them. 
Also good just for small ruins you might explore.

Buildings are characters too. 
One thing fallout does do is have letters and evidence of past events in a building.
What tragedy happened here? Whats the story of it's occupants past and present? Some fragment you find in a shed about a missing child might turn up relevant in some town miles away. Gives you hooks in the world and investigative fun.

Feel free to make have occupants inspired by the contents or just some vagrant or a whole gang of killers eating a human corpse. My current campaign has to check local ruins for unwelcome creatures or squatters. Some turned out to be friends one was a damaged cyborg monster. Currently have a trolley of dead robots and cyborgs they are taking to market.

WIndows? d6-1
Doors? d3
Size? d6 things usually at least 3x3m per thing
Occupants? You decide and some entries will suggest occupants
Past Occupants? Tell some story of the past with material trinkets and writing
