I would recommend having an elevated floor, to keep things drier inside. If there is any way you could make a foundation from treated wood pallets, and some structural ply overtop (some businesses give away scraps), it would help you heaps in the long term! What are you doing to keep is structurally solid? With the pellet floor idea you can put rocks inside the pellets, to help anchor them down, and then if you connect your wall structures to the flooring, it will give it a little more safety.

i would desperatley suggest more tarps, specifically a wood layer coat in tarp, another wood layer and on the inside of the structure do tarp for 2x sealing making holes less of a issue, flooring wise there isnt too much you can do besides make it fully dirt, get some pavestone bricks dug into the floor, no idea how you would do fire if you dont have access to clay rich mud as a way to make a chimney for a firepit to keep the hut warm

Very nice if your goats need a shelter on a windy day.

Times like these I’m reminded of Rule 2.
I made houses like these a lot when I was a kid, except I used more branches, straw, palm fronds etc for the roof.
Livin’ the dream mate 👍

Check out Primitive Technology youtube. You can do a lot better with modern tools etc, but you can get some solid design ideas for 0 cost structures.
Looks like a shack.

I’ve seen some neat pallet houses on YouTube if you want any extra inspiration/ideas
I hope it’s warm there in January
This looks like luxury!
