I notice you have got some of the 'angles' constructed which should help a lot if its windy, but do you have to rush out with tarps to protect walls if it rains a lot?We deliberately went with this companies house kit because someone else on the island brought one but didn’t put it up for 18 months . Just left it sat on site no protection over it other than the cling film wrapping it comes in. It’s up now and looks good to our untrained eye. Obviously in a perfect world it would go up in the dry. We’ve been very lucky yesterday was the first rain we’ve had since we’ve started on the kit. It should be ok as long as we try to keep the insulation part of the panels dry as possible. So as soon as a panel goes up we’ll be putting a temporary packer in it until we can get the top plate on the whole section of wall we’re working on. You’re right we put some angles / returns up as soon as we could to help protect from the wind . We’ve also put some temporary braces across the corners to help with stability if it gets breezy . We’ve been very lucky with that as well. We’ve had some incredibly settled weather up to now.
Loving the updates btw!
Think we’re in for a showery week. If it rains to much we’ll have to pump out the house because what we have actually created is a pond , until we get a roof on .
