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 12 - there ain't nothing going on but the rent ....

Hello again!,

I was still in the US this week, but didn't miss anything on site as nothing much else happened since we are still awaiting the reclaimed red brick samples that will be needed to start rebuilding the large door opening on the South wall.  They should have arrived by now!  In the meantime, some progress has been made on the piping runs for the utilities between the building spaces – water, service ducts and manifold locations for the under-floor heating.  We’ve had to make some assumptions on things as we still haven’t decided on our heat source yet!

Some pipe runs visible in foundations

The orange piping is for running services between buildings (this will be covered over in concrete)

Two service ducts near the utility room area

Hot and cold water pipes out to manifold locations and return flow
