Little Ennochie Mill: Week 9 - a floor but not much more ...

Hello and welcome to our Jamieson family blog page! We have set up this site to allow us to record and share with friends and family our exploits as we (at long last) begin renovating the derelict water mill at Little Ennochie into what will hopefully be a fab and funky family house!! This has only taken us 3 1/2 years to get this far (and two bambinos!) .... so here's hoping this blog doesn't run for another 3 1/2 years !

As a bit of an intro, the mill is located on the outskirts of the village of Finzean, near Banchory in Aberdeenshire. The building sits on the banks of the river Feugh with great views of open fields and the hills, including Clachnaben. We have been slogging through Aberdeenshire planning and building warrants for what feels like forever, but we now have everything in place and the ball is rolling!

I will endevour to update this blog weekly with updates and photos so will see how that goes! Please keep watching and here's hoping this thing doesn't bankrupt us!

Week 9 - a floor but not much more ...

Hello,

I've been slack with my updates for last week ... a bit too busy to sit down at the computer! Week 9 didn't see a huge amount of progress to be honest. The first floor joists were pretty much complete during the week, but other than that, nothing much to report. We've been at a stalemate trying to resolve some issues around how to rebuild the granite opening and also on some other tender related things. It is all resolved now so hopefully the next weeks blog will have more progress to show.

See ya!
