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 46 - Some more plasterboard ...

Hi,

Catching up tonight on a couple of weeks activity for the blog!  During week 46 the downstairs bedrooms were fitted with plasterboard and there was some more progress on the roof, but hey ho, no glass therefore still not water tight!  Rooms are now all formed inside the Mill.  This week also saw our builder sort out the installation details with our supplier for the biomass boiler.  This means we are now going to go to local planning for another small extension to the office/utility block so that we can house our 6 ton pellet hopper as close as possible for running the wood pellet vacuum feed pipes. Here's hoping we get it through without hassle!  Our track record to date isn't exactly speedy on that front!!

Outside, the outer beams for the decking were fitted ... nice space.

Anyone for a G&T?
Until next week ....
