Thanks for all the supportive comments.
The storm has hit hard and the 8m x 5m £16 tarpaulin has caved in under the rain pressure.
I'm soaked through, fvck it.
I just hope the plywood floor and walls don't turn to sponge.
We'll see what Tomorrow brings.

It's a David Vs Goliath battle.
All I want to do is build a safe space for the kids and their friends. Not have them on the mean streets and able to keep an eye on them.
Fvcking rain is gonna turn all my hard work to mush..
Fuck it I'm gonna take a leaf out of my dogs book and sleep.
The roof can take my weight, although it does creak a bit.
Put loads my strengthening noggins in today and nearly finished the roof boards when it decided to rain again.
Tarps back on.
Aiming for a finished construction similar to these..
Soon be time to cook up a batch..
Did you put in any cross braces on that frame?
Any Damp Proof Membrane on the bricks?
Looks good, I like the overhang on the roof, good idea.

Is your dad Josef Fritzl?
Joe what is the budget, current cost and expected overall cost for your build? If you don’t mind me asking.
Im just curious of the comparison compared to the prefab ones you posted between 2-4k.
I saw this one just popped up on Lazada.
Lang may yer lum reek...
the last 3 words are a bit worrying.
Hi Dirk, so far I've spent about £700. I reckon the overall cost will come in at about a grand due to my new source of cheap timber(pallets).
I would happily have bought one ready made but the lead times are ridiculous at the moment in the UK.
A 6-8month wait!
I wanted it done before the Summer holidays and I have the spare time at the moment so got stuck in.
YouTube videos have been a great source of information and an education to me.
Loads of strengthening noggins and struts gone in recently.
Need to pull my finger out and put in a few 8 hour days to complete it.
The plan is to have three layers of timber in the structure, inside outside and plywood middle.
have you sourced that mattresses and old clothes for the insulation ?
Or a 2 bar fire and 50p for the meter.
Nah - 3.99 for gut rot brandy will keep the cold out.
That and fingerless mittens to facilitate TD C+Ps.
Of course September onwards will be a different story.
