sound that dude, get some heater in there and move in!
i would get yourself a roll of damp proof membrane, and a ton bag of sand to level the floor.lip the dmp up the inside of the frame work, then put your slabs down on the inside. should stay nice and dry then.
whats that website where people give stuff away? cant remember the name, but my sister got some pavin slabs off it not so long ago...

you talkin bout freecycle mate? my old man had one of them metal garages years ago, they are ok until a gale force wind rips em apart, the roof leaks like mad and caves in when its covered in snow. but will keep you dry in the summer.

I had one of them, a smaller size but the same thing, it was rusty in a year and regularly would move about with the wind, i woke one evening to see it bouncing around on the floor, suffice to say it was rather bent and suitable for the dustbin after that.
My opinion is a wooden shed is better, or how bout the plastic version.

good sheds them mate, we got one in our garden been there for years no problem as long as you lie it on a sound base it will be ok. however if you have problems with thievin c**ts by you it may pay to secure the roof better cos they can easily be ripped off.
