My turn for D'Oh time! Of course - thanks for setting my brain straight

[QUOTE=Midnight Man;2082288]Many thanks for taking the time to read here, and any insights or thoughts you may be able to share!

I have a shed that I wish to line - and a few months ago, thought I had the "how to" for this all worked out. Some things I have read recently have given me cause to think again, so I thought it might be best to put out a query to hear other people's thoughts on how they would go about things to get a fresh perspective.

The lining I would like to make strong enough to use to make a tool wall, or potentially hag a small cabinet or two from.

I'd like to do both walls and ceiling (the ceiling obviously not to hang things, and a lighter construction/material).

I would very much like to include as much acoustic insulation as possible to insulate neighbours from noise as much as possible.

This shed is pretty much your standard colourbond shed, but it has had Insulshed 50 lining installed on the roof and along all walls.

The main structural beams along the walls are 150mm deep, and added to this is the depth of the horizontal beams of 60mm. The bottom of all walls have been vermin sealed protecting the channels in the colourbond profile - there is still in a few places an air gap between the colourbond wall and the concrete slab.

In particular I'd like to know if sealing that gap with a foam (or other material) will lead to a condensation problem?

Will any walls/insulation being constructed need to allow an air gap between them and the existing lining and colourbond wall to prevent condensation problems?

To clarify the existing structure, the wall design and construction, then ceiling construction (we inherited a rather poor tape job on the ceiling, this has been replaced and is now well sealed) are shown below:
