Yes, this is very helpful, especially the photos as an example of interior upper shell bracing. Do you have any photos of how the wooden braces meet the ribs? I only plan to remove the lower interior skins so the ribs won't be available above for bracing, only the skins.
Also it's interesting to see an example of the framing you used below the shell and supported by the blocks. Although I'm going to lower my shell back onto the ground because I get fairly high gusts of wind at my location.
