A small hint at the maddness
Before everything ends up as nice neat pages for you to download, it looks like this.

All of the major structural parts are done. Time to start laying out pages (about 24) and start a few exploded views made from actual parts. Still a lot to do, the waterwheel, penstock, loading docks etc.
I’ll start with a pic of the fake water wheel, added in the 1970’s.
It likely came from another mill. the verticle brick work was where the original woods mill was attached that housed the horizontal turbine that really powered the mill.
The distinctive brick was made from local clay on site. The building on the far side with the tall square chimney is a smithy and works today.
I’m deep into the textures with the major walls layed out, but still at least a week and probably more. I need to go back on site to take additional photos and clarify some details.
