EVERY year, just like cobwebs some stupid robins build a nest in the gooseneck overhand of my horse trailer. THIS year the eggs actually hatched. It's about 12 feet from my tool shed, where they is a lot of summer activity, so most of the time the parents abandon the nest.
Here is where they put it:

The 3 eggs--I've been watching them--hatched yesterday.

Seriously ugly babies! Maybe next year you should put something there to scare them away, or screen it off with a little piece of chicken wire or something.
