In the novel Bud, Not Buddy, where do the Amoses lock up Bud for the night?

In Chapter 2, Bud is sent to the Amos household and gets into a fight with their son after Todd sticks a pencil up his nose. Todd ends up beating up Bud, and when his parents come into his room, Todd lies to them about what happened. Mr. and Mrs. Amos are extremely upset at Bud and make him spend the night in the shed. They lock Bud in the shed where he is terrified. While he is in the shed, Bud thinks that he sees a vampire bat hanging from the ceiling. Bud then finds a rake and takes a swing at the "vampire," which happens to be a hornet's nest. Bud immediately tries to break down the door with his shoulder but is unsuccessful. He then jumps on top of a woodpile and ends up breaking a window in order to escape from the shed.
