will be loose. Inside getting pretty sodden, but the floor is
varnished so that's of less concern.

If I do wait, is it worth treating the exposed wood while I'm at it -
shed was a kit and treatment minimal.

No, just go ahead and fix it whenever you can.

Wood does not absorb water that quickly, or to any great depth.

It takes a year or three for wood to dry out from green, for example..
