This is looking so good now. Thanks for sharing everything and allowing us to live your dream vicariously!
I would also be interested in the turbine details. What's the expected lifetime, cost to maintain and output profile over a typical year of weather conditions up there? And also, how much power do you lose through making the output supply suitable for / compatible with "domestic use"?

Folks left yesterday and we managed to get everything finished! Started at 7 and finished at 11 yesterday morning just to get the last couple pieces of cement board in and the place tidied up. Long, tiring week for all of us but pretty proud of what we achieved. It was a shell when we started moving all the sheeting and things in on Sunday and now the trusses are insulated, there’s wool up in the ceiling for laying, 2 layers of 15mm plasterboard on the walls and then insulating and sheeting the walls with ply and cement board. I think if the trades had achieved the same in the week I might have been pretty impressed too!
It means a lot to me as they’re getting older that I’ll be able to point at parts of the workshop and know we did that together. A large memory from my childhood was following behind my dad trying to carry his red toolbox as he did up or repaired things. Nice that it’s kind of come full circle.
Because my life is just to do lists these days we went straight from dropping them at the boat to helping sheet a big polytunnel for friends of ours yesterday. They’d helped get the sheet on ours last summer so was only right I reckon!
Also, I love the cladding when it’s wet!
