Here goes then:
Starting to wrap in breathable membrane. We have been doing this in small sections rather than the whole lot at once as with only being able to work on it during dry weekends we found the weather can end up destroying things in the meantime!
Some of the external cladding in place. We have gone for vertical boards as you can see, these are 6x1 for the bottom layer directly onto the battens, spaced at roughly 2" apart. The top layer is then 4x1 which covers the spacing and allows for airflow throughout the cladding. These are fastened using 90mm galvanised nails right through the batten and into the studwork behind.
Here's the first side with the top layer applied.

After that I got a bit distracted from the walls with the arrival of the roof! About £1600s worth in the photo below:
Which then leads on to the underlay. I got this stuff cheap on eBay but mainly because it was supposed to have a good stretch resistance so it won't sag between the rafters, so far it has lived up to it's promise.
First side done. This stuff goes on really quickly once you get going. I ordered it all to length so no cutting to do apart from the angles into the valleys.
Membrane onto the other sides
And the roof sheeting
That's about as far as we have got at the moment, the back side is still do do. The wind has been busy destroying the membrane we put on but hopefully it is OK.
Note one wall is completely missing - waiting on a window. We still have the one for which the gap was designed but unfortunately that one doesn't open so I am trying to source a better one that does. It's not holding us up yet anyway.
