Garden storage/workshop shed

And here we go!!!
A new year, a new season, spring time brings a lot of ideas... and one that is taking a lot of my thinking time is to create and build a storage shed/workshop...
The cost of buying the shed materials, either from 84 Lumber, Lowes or Home Depot, and still have it to put together; ranges from the $1500 and up to 4500 for a 12x16.  Again, just in materials. 
and since the money is always tight, and after talking and convincing my wife, I will be building a shed out of pallets. I've done a lot of research for this and my very gross and extremely inflated cost of materials can be around $800, BUT, the internal capacity of the shed will be a increased by a lot. Since the "ready to build" shed from the big stores are on 6 feet tall, the one that I am planing to construct will be 8 on the shorter side.

I'll be posting updates as the design of the layout in a later time. As always, I am open to suggestions, ideas, etc.
