(I think- I could be wrong on what exactly that does... I'm thinking it lifts the ?gate so water starts flowing over the wheel and the gear has to be dropped manually - haven't had a mill lesson in many many years - it is the on-off, though)

I think that dressing the stones restored the tolerance between the grinding surfaces of the stones...someone please correct me if I'm wrong...                                                                      J.B.

Mostly just all the equipment, which is rather rare. There are rusty license plates on the floor that where used to patch holes, but most are covered up or behind stuff that's being stored in there.

Ok - I gotta take a break... hope some find this interesting. Here's a picture of where the privy used to be. Good thing my parents have me convinced there's nothing in it. My mom planted holly bushes on top of it!

OMG!....I'll go buy some new holly bushes!!! <laughing> How my curiosity would compel me to put a strain upon family relations and DIG! I'll suggest to Laur that we make the trip to the mill to celebrate her van getting on the road,...("yeah, that's not a probe...yeah, it's a prop rod for holding the hood open,...yeah,yeah,...that's the ticket") Just kidding Kate, but you have alot more diplomacy and restraint than I would.         Joe
