So after over a week the wall upstairs below the window has completely dried out and I rebuilt the walls using wedges of strawbales. I am also putting in new lintels as these take the loadf of the walls again and I am a lot happier with the results. I have replaced 2′4′ with 4′4′. This will also make it easier to fit the windows as the pine post have warped quite considerably.
Downstairs the bale above the bathroom window was wet so I took that out and replaced it with dry straw. 
I’m going to store my tools under the stairs for now until I build the workshop round the back. It’s great to have all the tools in one place and dry!
I made a bookcase and have got the organ in the living room. I’ve also insulated the floors with lecca (small balls of clay blown with air).
So i guess you want an update. Well when I got back the wind blew off the tarp covering the window space and the upper wall was pretty wet. It took a few days but I have taken out the section that is wet and now it is drying out. And of course we have the interior coming on too.
Well in the time that has gone by I made the stairs, put the kitchen sink in and made a bookcase which has all my books on it now. I also finished the gable walls.
