it's doubled in size, but still sleeps 18. apparently additions include a bigger kitchen, new drying room, and Toilets.

to be honest I don't think any of this was necessary. they'd be better off spending the money on a new turbine.

I believe they now have a wee hydroelectric scheme which powers the heaters to stop the septic tank from freezing. Not sure if that also powers lights in the hut, but I suspect so. Previously the wind turbine only powered lights and sent excess power to heaters, although there were some inverters for other appliances.
They had to do some building work, as they really needed a toilet.

A room for drying the wet clothes seems a fairly welcome addition to me :)
