Anyway, the weeks have gone by and progress has been made on masonry repairs, boarding out the dust floor and removing the brake wheel for repair.
 |
| South bin floor window. This used to be home to an elder tree. The roots had caused widespread damage to the mortar, meaning quite extensive rebuilding of the surrounding stonework. We assume the sill was sloped to assist grain flow. |
 |
| Dust floor under construction, seen from below. The weather has resulted in the boards shrinking slightly, even though the timber was kiln dried! Can we have some rain please. |
 |
| Windshaft, with brake wheel and brake removed. |
 |
| The windshaft bearing has 'sunk' into the supporting beam. We recently carried out a repair on the exact same problem at Lacey Green windmill. |
 |
| Trimming the dust floor for the staircase |
 |
| Remember our nice clear chimney in the winter? Persistent devils, these rooks. |
