Week 24 - Windows and plastering

We are once again in a period of rapid change.  since the last update the oak windows and cills have been installed, the plasters have all but completed the top floor with skim, the internal door frames have been fitted and the first of the aluminium windows have arrived.  The majority of the drainage is complete and we have started the reduced dig to take the biomass boiler slab.

Week 21- further work inside and out

Hello all,

Almost a month since our last post; where has the time gone?! Since the last post a lot of work has taken place inside the Mill as well as some works outside. We now have a water supply thanks to the installation of a borehole and the first lot of bespoke windows have arrived, but most importantly we can now go up and down between the floors via the temporary stairs which have been put in as the landings are now complete....exciting!
