The past couple of weeks on site have been characterised by extraordinary amounts of rain - to coin a local term "it has been pishing doon", to the point where part of the banking at the rear of the site has come away and we now have two torrents of water running through the site.

Pleasingly all this water has proved that the internal tanking is holding up well, and despite a somewhat sleepless night worrying that the mill spring might have moved, after investigation Gregor has proved that it was simply a field drain, I think we can all sleep a bit easier!

The main focus at present is the mill building, with works leaping ahead as we are all trying to get ready to Superflo screed the floor next week. The pictures show the internal kit is well progressed, the floor insulated, and the first fix wiring and plumbing underway. The roofing membrane has been swapped out as I was not happy with its performance, and it seems to be working well enough now. The windows are ordered and delivery dates have been set for September. Gregor and the team at Total Build are turning their minds to drainage and landscaping and trying to sort out the mill lade, whilst Andy and his team at ABC are pushing on to get the interior of the mill progressed as far as possible whilst we wait for windows. Completion is looking likely towards the end of September/early October, slippage largely due to me trying to make sure we have a coordinated solution for the windows...and being repeatedly let down by suppliers. Other than that we are very pleased with the overall progress, and it is great to see the interior starting to look like some of the graphics too now.
