Hello again bloggers. A beautiful sunny day at Little Ennochie on Friday 22nd saw our first proper onsite meeting with architect and builder since work started in anger last month. The office table was a pallet on the end of Stan's Manitou forks which proved very hand for raising and lowering drawings and notes! We did however make our first error on this day...... a Friday afternoon, sunny, hot, not a breath of wind ... but we forgot the G&T's which would have made things much more civilised! Things have progressed well over the last week thanks to the nice weather, including a good milestone with total removal of the old roof on Thursday!!

| Someone has nicked our roof!! |
 |
| A lovely day ... blue skies and no roof .... |
A start has also been made to rainwater and domestic drain pipes into the Mill and also in the front. These have been backfilled now.
 |
| Drain pipes installed at the front of the house |
The old Mill hole has now been totally filled in also ... a bit sad, but necessary :-(
 |
| Goodbye Mill hole and lade :-( |
 |
| An interesting view ... not much for the lever to operate now .... |
The riverside extensions have also been marked off ahead of the foundation work next week.
 |
| This is a cool piccie that shows where the main riverside extension will sit |
 |
| This is a picture taken standing in the TV/family room looking across to the entrance hall and office/utility extension ... what do you mean you can't see anything!?! |
Inside the Mill now looks like some sort of Roman ruin! Thankfully no lions around, just first signs of midges ... I'm not sure which ones would be worse!?!

| Large roof light |
 |
| Why are we doing this again!? |
Thanks for visiting .... until next week!
Paul & Tracy, looking good, the photos definitely show things progressing. Keep up the blogging!!
ReplyDeleteSkitz you missed a great opportunity. When I saw White paint marking out the extension, you should have made a silhouette of a body.... Just to add to the blog tension.... Keep posting, great to see the progress.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe how different it looks already, I'm used to seeing it peppered with dead cats and empty beer bottles!
ReplyDeleteLook as though a serious amount of undergrowth was cleared from round the back - did you get Greig to go banzai with the strimmer again?
Greig was offended that I have now destroyed his two years of careful and attentive gardening! Sorry G-man!! Did you check out in the pictures where the camping loo is? Now that is extreme dumping!
