How we intend to test the wall

We are now in stage of testing the wall if it is waterproofed or not. We have a foil covering up the timber frame and up to roofing to avoid water from getting in inside. There is also a additional plastic sheet for the roofing.
Generally, this test will be pouring water on the roof and the wall for 5 minutes as a simulation of rain. For the water that we are using, we can collect them to reuse in order to not wasting water. But it might turn out that the Earthbags soaking up the water, but we will see what happens after the experiment.
