Little Ennochie Mill: December 2011

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!

Weeks 35, 36, 37, 38 & 39 - ALL STOP - laugh or cry?!?!

Hi everyone,

I am writing this at the end of week 39, frustrated and bored ... and with no activity update to share. We've done absolutely nothing onsite for the last 5 weeks. The whole AC Yule debacle has left us way behind schedule now as our builder has only just finalised the roof glazing design and found an alternative supplier. Although this is massively disappointing and annoying, nothing we can do about it so we just have to hope we can maybe get something done before Xmas ... but I'm not holding my breath! Fingers crossed for quick delivery and good weather!!
