~Notes
Clean!
Our mill has been scrubbed at last! Workmen came with cherry picker platforms to repair broken windows, and cover them with perspex. We don't really want the covers but local vandals have been catapulting stones at the glass so the perspex is a necessity to prevent further damage, and fortunately it doesn't show too bad.
At the same time, the boards were cleaned so all sides were returned to their pristine state. The paintwork has lasted extremely well, with only some peeling and rot noticed in some window frames. It is a vast improvement now that all the algae has been removed, and will hopefully stay cleaner for longer now that some nearby (dead) trees have been taken down, giving the site more light.
We've also fixed the spotlights (the old ones having quit after a respectable thirty years). One is timed, the other on a motion sensor for the benefit of the people whose driveway we share, so the building will be lit at night, could be worth a night photo sometime...
Compare with its former mucky self especially around the Lucam, what a difference!
