Back from a miserable day out on site - the weather is terrible here, and landscaping at the mill has had to come to a halt - much of Kemnay is flooded, but helpfully, the mill lade is coping very well with the 100mm of rain we have had in the last 24 hrs!
Other than landscaping the mill is now very near completion, the painters are in, the wood floor is almost completely laid, carpets are on order, the kitchen worktops are being templated on Saturday, the glass balustrades for the stair are ordered, and the clients furniture is on its way! At present, depending on the weather, I anticipate the mill being largely complete by the end of the month, which is excellent news for the client, and a great relief for the contractor team. The newly fabricated mill wheel was installed at the weekend, and it works - which is very satisfying, given it was a bit of an experiment as no one is making them any more. so many congrats to Gregor and Matt for their efforts.
We have decided to clad the interior of the wheel drum and the paddles, partly as galvanising them slightly bent some of the paddles, partly because we felt the overall look was just a bit too industrial looking. We have opted to use Thermowood for the linings to match the rest of the scheme, and several sample panels have been done, and they are looking great. the wheel runs very smoothly, and is light enough you can actually stop it by hand.
The interior should be ready for deep clean by the end of next week, so fingers crossed we should be able to set a move in date very shortly.
