Very kind offer and I may well take you up. I am a way off the shingles though... the cabin is still in tree form....

Looking good pignut
Some observations on the IBC tank in your plans (based on bitter experience of our 10 tanks)
1) Paint the liner with black bitumen paint of algae breeds in it like crazy - especially in Lincolnshire
2) Try to build a platform for the tank to sit on that is at least 2' from the floor. The tap is very low otherwise - impossible to put a jug or watering can under and you end up with a layer of water you can never use
3) Drill a small breather hole in the top cap - otherwise draining the water can collapse the liner
4) Get a 2" blanking plate for outlet tap and fit a hozelock adapter to it - you can then run a hose into the man cave for internal running water (or daisy chain additional tanks)
I have some left over bitumen if you would like a few pints.

Sounds good red. I will heed your advice. You may have to pop over for a brew/beer when building starts

That looks like a fun project. It's worth digging out as much of the bramble roots as you can before you build over the top, they are devils for re-growing and they will push their way through almost anything.
Dunno if it's of any interest, but this is my new froe:
It was made for me by a friendly blacksmith, and I put the ash handle on it myself. The steel is EN45 steel. It's a beautiful tool to use, the temper is perfect with a beautiful springyness to the tool. The blade is 13" long
