Thanks. 
Here is the update for today. I got the rest of the wood braces done and all the plywood screwed down. I am going to go over it a few times and make sure I didn't miss any spots. Then it should be good to go aside from the metal braces I am putting on the inside the corners last. I got a tracking email for the liner today so it shouldn't take more than a week or so to get here. I picked up the foam today and just loosely tossed it in. I got 3/4" sheets, that should keep it well insulated.

I wish. I did some insulating and cleaning last night. As well as adding a few more 3" deck screws here and there. I've still got to finish putting in the insulation, braces, liner and so on. I am hoping for water in a week or two... *Maybe* this weekend. The Liner will be here today.Drywall? Nope that would get ruined with the quickness. It doesn't take to water well and I spill a lot.
I am adding one on top (2"x6"- Once the liner is in) in the same spot as the bottom one. This is to prevent bowing out as I know the long 7.5' wall would. I don't think it will bow in the other direction so I am not bracing it that way. I also have metal L braces going in all the corners. Sometimes I think this is under built and then I see others and it seems over built so we'll see how it holds. In looking at other designs it should hold fine though. There is nothing else going on the outside for now. I may add more later but it's not needed and I will want to insulate it before adding anything to help with heating it in winter so it's staying bare for now.
I got the liner in today and will see what I can get done tonight. I'll update with some pics later.
