Chewed cotton wool is relatively simply - you just imagine cotton wool....chewed.

Things are obviously up and running after the break. I am not so sure about atributing the use of corrugated iron to Glen Murcott. We all know that Bluey Smithers of Sheepgully Flats first used corrugated iron to build a dunny in 1812 and don't forget that it was used in the design of Ferncliff Cottage in 1915 for the (wait for it) roof. Oh, and the floor of the laundry - beat that! Chewed cotton wool - I'll have to give that some thought! Windspray? Plenty of that outside in Shanghai as I write this comment.
