To late now but I would have used a breathable membrane over the stud work to ensure that it is water tight. Those T & G planks will leak like a sieve.

 

Also consider adding some internal diagonal braces within the stud work so that the T&G is not the only thing stopping racking.

 

Remember that emergency is going to put huge loads on the structure so keep the top weight as low as possible & plenty on bracing.
