Little Ennochie Mill: Week 55 - Trades holiday .. but bathrooms keep going in

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 55 - Trades holiday .. but bathrooms keep going in

Hi again,

This week was the easter break for the builders and most trades. However thankfully the plumber and a few others kept soldiering on through the holiday and managed to get some things done like sinks and toilets fitted. We also finalised marking out our drive layout and started moving things around for landscaping in the garden. Can you believe the weather this week?? Gone are the 20 degC temperatures to be replaced with snow!
