RE: Pictures of old grist mill - 8/26/2009 11:24:28 AM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Cap - not sure about that licence plate, but they're all from the 70s or later. Belonged to my parents cars... I think that one is probably pretty new, cuz we got my dad a train license plate within the last few years. I know there's a bicentennial plate in there, but  that's not it. Red - yeah - easier said than done! _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC. (in reply to RedGinger) Post #: 61

RE: Pictures of old grist mill - 8/26/2009 11:37:03 AM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Yeah - my dad will turn 71 this year, and at this point (since the developer tore the garage down across the street even though they can't develop there) they use it for storage. Recently may dad has replaced the floor in the main office and has done a lot of patchwork to the stone. My grandfather was a bricklayer, so my dad thought this would be easy for him, but he never actually learned the skill, so his patchjobs look like patchjobs. About 10 years ago we had a really bad draught and it seemed to cause a little shifting in the mill. Floods also do some damage to it - mainly the supports for the first floor. He's given up on ever actually restoring & running it, but mostly concerned with making sure it remains standing. _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC.

RE: Pictures of old grist mill - 8/27/2009 9:41:50 AM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Thanks Buzzcut... our headrace is very long and definitely dug. Probably close to a quarter mile. Hmm.. wonder if it wasn't always that long and the old one is filled in? Gotta think about that for a while. The dam is concrete, so it's not the original. Ponder Ponder Ponder... what if? Hmmm If you have more pictures of that mill, post away. I love mills! Got some more pictures for anyone that's interested. Here's some of my jasper collection that I have on the laundryroom steps. I leave it there for safe keeping. Attachment (1) _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC.

RE: Pictures of old grist mill - 8/27/2009 9:51:11 AM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline I'm stuck on a possibility of the headrace being shorter now... The river is way closer in other areas, but the headrace would have to turn. Would be better to have a straight headrace, right? I think I'm just getting overexcited about bottle possibilities. I doubt there was ever a different route. Here's looking up in the 3rd floor. Attachment (1) _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC. (in reply to pyshodoodle) Post #: 70

Put a burlap sack down to get it to crawl out, but it didn't work. Cat was declawed and had to get a ladder. Attachment (1) _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC.

HARD TO IMAGINE WOOD LASTING THAT LONG AND NOT BEING ROTTEN! LOVE THE SOFT COLOR OF THE COLOR OF THAT DOOR. IT IS GREAT TO SEE ALL THE CRAFTMANSHIP THAT WENT INTO MAKING ALL THOSE WOOD PARTS AND THEY LASTED FOR SO LONG! YANKEE INGENUITY! FAR OUT! MEANWHILE DOWN SOUTH-DANG JUST REALIZED WE GOT A MILL OF OUR VERY OWN RIGHT HERE IN HOOTERTOWN! IT WAS BUILT IN 1848 BY .....SLAVES! SHOCK,IN THE SOUTH SHOCK! I WILL TAKE SOME PICTURES OF IT SOON I HOPE SINCE WE SHARING. PEOPLE ALL MY LIFE TIME HAVE TRIED TO MAKE IT A RESTAURANT AND FOR SOME RESON THEY ALWAYS GO OUT OF BUSINESS ,YET OTHERS COME AND TRY AGAIN. AIN'T THAT ONE DEFFINITION FOR INSANITY,TO DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECT DIFFERENT RESULTS? SLAVES REVENGE? I HAVE WONDERED HOW THE SLAVES MADE THE DAM FOR THE CREEK SO LONG AGO ,FOR THE MILL RACE.HAD TO USE WHAT WAS HERE,BECAUSE THIS JOINT WAS BARELY SETTLED WHEN THE MILL WAS BUILT.
