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 11 - did somebody order a roof!?

At last, a new roof!  I was away for most of this week (w/c 30th May), but Tracy saw the new roof for the Mill going up which was a nice milestone to reach.  In the photos you will see the voids on the South (river side) and North sides that will house the conservation style velux windows.  The one on the North is for the family bathroom; on the South side the bank of four windows will allow light to stream down into the full height hallway; the other two will be for the kids bedrooms upstairs.

A snazzy new roof for the Mill - dramatic skies in the background!!
