After seeing those pics I just went out and threw a beer can at my ugly woodshed.

Welcome to the site, BTW did you get permission from Pallet Pete to use all those pallets? He's the Primary Pallet Protector and personal pallet possessor of perfectly proportioned palletized protective products here on Hearth.com....
welcome to the forum and please tell us how your insert performs
Out of curiosity, did you get a permit to build the wood shed? if so, what did the town require of you? Building plans, plot plans, inspections?
Oxford, CT here.
Nice! Are you just running single headers (beams) for front & back? And how are they secured?
I would try and run doubles and thru bolt to the posts, 2 per interconnect. Too late to notch, so just add the "inner" headers and maybe some blocks in between the two along the run to make it more like a beam.
My soggy wood stacks will be jealous. I intended to build a wood shed this year, but ended up building a regular shed with lean-to for the tractor to live under. $4k later, woodshed will wait. I also got a "deal" on HD shingles, 50% off 3 opened bundles that I just used as starter course. CL often has deals but I needed 4 square and wanted it to look good (shed too close to house to make it an eyesore.)
The wood shed will have metal roofing, if it ever gets built.
Looks like it will be very nice. I am thinking when I build one, hopefully next year, after I burn the wood in the spot I want, that I will not bother putting a floor in. Just some gravel and pallets (that can be easily replaced). That has to be a major part of the expense and work. In your case though it will add weight and keep the shed in place with heavy winds. I am planning on digging 3 or 4 ft holes for the posts.
Im going to follow your design esxcept for the floor, save the expense and its a bit higher and dry where I want to put mine, hope mine comes out half as well as yours did.I almost did that, I have some plastic pallets that make a great flooring, but as you stated want to eventually get this thing as rigid and stable as possible with the tools I have.

Performs amazing. Gets the room it is in up to 88 degrees and the upstairs rooms up to 71 after about 4 1/2 hours from a cold start. My house is very well insulated now that I just got new windows and siding put on. it is 2300 sq feet that it keeps warm. If only there was some way of getting the heat to travel down into the finished basement. Rest of First floor stays around 74 degrees.
If you have a digital thermostat try turning on the fan on the furnance, this will pull heat through your ductwork.
I did this once, tried to get heat evenly throughout the house, and it did not seem to work.
After a couple hours, the house was not as warm as if I had just left the fans off.
I have two zone air handlers with an intake and vent in each room of the house (two in the living room) instead of a central intake. If you have luck doing this, what is your set up? I assumed that I am just spending a lot of time trying to get the ducts warmed up.
