Great building design....enjoy your project....

Thanks! You are completely correct. The N end (left side of photo) will have a wall not quite to the level of the wood stake shown in the foreground of the dirt pile outside the pit and a gentle slope will be constructed to shed water. The earth here is basically sand and it drains really well fwiw.
