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 26 - Windows in!

Hello everyone,

This week has seen a fair bit of progress with the installation of most of the windows in the mill and extensions.  I didn't take many pictures as I was in a rush, but uploaded a couple that will show the look of some of them inside and out - I'll upload better ones next week, including the massive 4 metre riverside one that Tracy had the nerve chattering pleasure of watching being installed!!  The windows are wood / double glazing painted in a grey colour - still have a final coat to go on.  The colour should work well with the granite and the larch wood cladding ... or so we hope!
