WOW! What a journey. The mill was moved without anything falling off of it. There was a time or two that the truck pulling had gotten stuck. It is a 140 thousand lb baby they are pulling after all. It had reached its final destination. Ross and I are so excited to get started in renovations. Where do you begin you say? Well first a roof, foundation to set it onto, windows, flooring, insulation to start. We are hoping to retain the old cedar siding. Anyways I have tons of pics. I will post some of inside later. I did post a pic here of inside with some old grain thingamabobs. (dont know what you would call them). Have a great day everyone!
