January 2009
We have had to carry out some repairs to the water wheel this year as one of the sole boards that line the wheel had rotted away. We have been putting this job of until we had run out of grain, which is when we carry out any repairs to the mill. It is also the time that we dress the stones, which needed quite a bit of work this year. Happy to report that the mill is now working better than ever now and working flat out!!
We had a delivery of new grain, which put the new auger to the test!! Appart from a couple of minor hitches it works well, we didn't realise how wornout the old auger was!
