Default leaking roof

Hi There.Just wanted to say i was told years ago that empty egg boxes are a great cheap easy way of insulating and soundproofing a concrete wall and if you put sheets of plastic on the walls first then the cardboard boxes flattened with the egg boxes stuck on it will never rot as the damp cant get at it or get in side as for the roof a realy quick solution for the time beeing would be to spread plastic sheeting on top of the galvanised sheeting and secure it tightly so the wind doesnt blow it off . Then when the weather is better cover the top of the roof with hay or straw and plenty of it and cover all of that with felt and with theplastic sheeting under the stray or hay it will stop any leaks again also hay and straw are great for insulation aswell and a big bale is very inexpensive I hope this helps a little and i love the job youve done so far Kindest regards Lolo
