The normal way to sort this in say a single skin brick building would be to batten out the wall and put plasterboard on it, filling the cavity created with insulation. Unfortunately you cannot do that with this building as the "logs" it's made from will expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature, the battens would fight this and eventually it will fall off or damage the structure of the building.

Oof, does this mean the craptacular shed-room-thing in the couple of images in my post above is going to pull itself apart? In my ignorance and without being able to find a guide to a similar project, I screwed extra studs between the battens of the shed carcass, packed in insulation and screwed on plasterboard. This was three summers ago. How many more years do I get from it before it implodes?

I need to replace the hastily knocked together solid slab door ASAP and was wondering if it will be possible to build in a properly squared frame then put in a pre-hung door of some sort- or is that just idiocy on top of idiocy?

@hugo7 that £750 was pushed up by getting materials specific to trying to soundproof the space (a few square metres of acoustic underlay was north of a hundred quid) and adding things like carpet and skirting so I'm sure you could do similar for c. £500 - though you may not want to in light of the above!
