How can I build a shed w/ some windows on upper half n wood on lower?
I want to build a kinda shed kinda potting place kinda she shed. I would build it on my concrete patio. Just a simple 8x8 n the roof would be a metal roof. I have several windows I can use.I want wood on bottom or maybe metal. Kinda just want a place I can go hang outside w/o bugs biting me. I can read etc. Want it done on the low dollar side. SOOOOO anybody got any ideas for me. Thanks. Stay safe n keep on doing your projects and have fun doing them. only bummer about getting our projects done is nowhere to sell them for now.

Try using free pallets for the lumber.
You could build one out of free pallets like this one, just to the size you want. https://youtu.be/ckVhLiJO4Ec
I would not suggest to try to build any style of shed out of pallet wood. Pallets are free because they are made from rough, substandard grade of 'lumber' . The pieces will crack, split and break when you try to cut them.
You will be fighting a never-ending battle with trying to get any part of the shed level, horizontally and vertically. To have any strength and durability in outdoor weather, the structure will have to be anchored properly on to a secure base. Corners will have to be squared correctly and the walls and roof leakproof.
