My apologies,
When I sent in the first report I had to squeeze the Subject into the 'banner box.' I used RA as an abbreviation for the name of the bothy Ruigh-aiteachain .... roughly grid ref. NN 847928

The doorless entrance to the upstairs and into the downstairs areas.
Just to put a lid on the progress with the reconditioned Bothy.

Wow, proper luxury.

Having used Jotul stoves in various Scandinavian huts, I can confirm that they are a cut above most basic bothy stoves! Not sure if they're as good with multiple fuel types, but for wood they are amazing.

Fuel other than wood should not be used in a wood burner. It was described to me that a wood burner burns down the way whereas a multi fuel burns up the way and needs a grate.
