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 28 - Insulation starting to go in ...

Hello bloggers,

This week saw the insulation starting to be installed in the roof of the main extensions - cosy!  We're still waiting on the mechanical heat recovery ventilation (MHRV) system to be installed so can't make a start to first fix electrics until week 30 at the earliest as we need to run the ducting first ... what you can see in one of the pictures is a part section of the ducting for the MHRV where it will transfer from Mill to extension.  Still a bit stop / start at the moment.

Until next week :-)

Main extension - acoustic insulation is in the roof above the "tinfoil"
(ducting for MHRV is in the top left of this picture)
Loose ends to be finished - nice view!
