Is he alive? Thoughts on how to insulate it?
My idea would be:
Staple a roll of tar paper on the inside, screw 1 inch strapping over it then tack on 1/8th inch Lauan. It will let you heat the inside then it will provide a back stop for chinking in the spring.
If he got scrap cutoffs from a small mill (usually free or $15-20 for a four foot round bundle you could do the same to the outside and use the cutoffs as siding, in that case chink it with fiberglass insulation. If the tar paper was done right i wouldn't really need insulation if it has two vapor barriers.
