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 13 - the floor and heating goes down

Hello folks,

I'm slow in my blogging again folks! This week (13) was a busy one. In the space of 3 days we poured the concrete subfloor, laid the insulation and underfloor heating pipes, then poured the final floor screed to bring the floor to it's finished level. Busy busy. As I type (week 15) we're still struggling with some details on the floor and the heating plans but we hope to get there soon.


Pipes in the extension underway
Inside the mill - insulation only
A cross section - pretty thick stuff for the floor
The kitchen area before - note the trench in insulation, this is because they placed the dishwasher water/waste in the wrong place! It's fixed now!!
looking to extension - taking shape
Pipes are pretty congested passing through the entrance hall
The Family Room
Manifold in the plant room (there is one in the Mill also)
Screed going down! 
... and down ...

... and down ...

Levelling the screed out ...

Spaghetti junction! 
The glass hallway is a busy place!

Inside the Mill ... screed all levelled out
The East extension all finished

The main extension now finished - machine there is for smoothing out the screed
