Hi folks,
At last the long awaited glass arrived and was installed during this week. We can now say that we are water tight in the main extension ... well, almost! The bank of roof windows linking the mill and extension look really great - amazing effect looking up, and they look pretty cool looking across from roof level as well (engineering geeks like me, please see photos below!). The metal profile sheets are nearly all installed on the main roof also, just some minor edges, flashings and secret guttering to finish.
Other jobs progressed outside include some more cladding and a bit more work on the steel deck.
Inside, the fireplace construction is now complete and interfaced with the roof. Just need the stove and flue in now. That should happen in the next couple of weeks when the stove arrives. A lot of other components arrived onsite this week, namely the biomass pellet boiler (it is a heavy beast!), pellet vacuum system, pellet hopper, solar panels, hot water tanks and all the sanitary ware.
Last but not least, the stone wall inside the Mill was dressed with lime pointing - looks really nice, attached photo doesn't do it justice.
Bye for now!

| Roof glazing installed ... has structural strength so can be walked on! |
 |
| Glazing and metal profile roofing - sinusoidal profile used (old school!) |
 |
| View from below ... it was dark outside! |
 |
| Looking across the bank of windows - a lot of light streaming in, even when it's dull outside! |
 |
| View from outside - horizontal beams in for deck also |
 |
| Cladding starting on the main extension |
 |
| Hallway inside Mill - lime pointing complete |
 |
| Fireplace complete - waiting on insert stove |
 |
| The mother of all boilers - this is the Compact 24 pellet boiler |
 |
| This alien contraption is the vacuum pump to suck wood pellets from hopper to boiler |
 |
| This is our 6T pellet hopper .... in bits awaiting assembly! |
