Uncharacteristically hot all over the UK this week, which has meant that building at Torphins has been like working in a furnace for everyone on site! Nevertheless, there has been no let up in the pace of the works, as you can see form the photos. The roof is now more or less complete on the garage, with just the leadwork ridge to add, the staircase has been installed internally and most of the plastering is complete.

The rafters on the main mill building itself have been installed, and you can now begin to see the outline of the feature full length windows. Internally the walls have been pointed and then rendered to both secure any of the loose internal rubble stonework, and to add a layer of waterproofing. the whole lot is has felt burned on at low level, which effectively works like a DPC, and then the remainder of the wall is painted with bitumen to add a final level of extra waterproofing. Even painted black it feels like a big space internally, and everyone is looking forward to the roof being completed and the internal kit being erected.
