Little Ennochie Mill: Week 54 - Kitchen time and back to foundations!

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 54 - Kitchen time and back to foundations!

Hi folks,

I'm playing catch-up on a few weeks tonight! Week 54 saw the kitchen and utility units arrive onsite now that the kitchen / dining area has been tiled. Fitting of the units was started and spaces are looking good. It had been so long since we picked these that we'd forgotten what they actually looked like!

The first coats of paint were also started this week, with the kiddies getting the only shots of colour at the moment! Other jobs this week included fitting of staircase oak handrails, fitting of the entrance hall Douglas Fir beams and rafters, and the foundations for the pellet store were started.
