Little Ennochie Mill: Week 10 - A roof beam 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 10 - A roof beam but not much more!

Hi folks,

This and the next 3 posts will be catch up posts as I've been away on business! This one is for w/c 23rd May.

This was a pretty slow progress week again - hampered by bad weather and various project issues that I won't bore you with! All that was really achieved this week was the erection of the steel structural ridge beam for the roof. This is now in position and fixed - not in the right place, but close enough!
