I'd do it without hesitation if I owned it. Unless someone is willing to make it into a mill museum what other life does it have? It deserves to have a purpose, its too nice to sit idle. Flood plain? That thing has been there 200 years, its not going anywhere < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 8/27/2009 2:59:20 PM > _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to RedGinger) Post #: 102

RE: Pictures of old grist mill - 8/27/2009 3:47:30 PM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline I guess if you like water in your first floor, that would be fine. But it's illegal anyway. Can't even rebuild the workers house because of the flood plain laws. Not even to use as storage. Could possibly get a permit for that situation, but it would be work to get it approved - turning the mill into a house - never. There is actually some kind of funding that pays for some homeowners to have their historic houses moved out of the floodplain. _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC.

Got that right Gunny! I could turn that into a palace. A Better Homes and Gindaloons cover story. One of my uncles was a master stone mason. I worked many summers with him when I was a boy. Several bathrooms, four bed rooms, and I big throne room so I could allow the surfs into my presence.

I was just telling a co worker about your Mill and the worn down stairs last week.I love the old Mills and the smell of grain or freshly sawn lumber.Yours is beautiful. _____________________________ http://youtu.be/e4ujS1er1r0 (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 109

RE: Pictures of old grist mill - 6/20/2010 11:09:55 AM    pyshodoodle Posts: 2801 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline The smell of 60+ year old grain is a little different than the fresh stuff. I do like the smell, though. I have to go in there & take some more pics. Someone painted swallows on an I beam down by the waterwheel... and there are some signatures of the owners that didn't turn out when I was there. One wrote his name in Greek. Just makes you wonder where and why a miller would learn that & use it. Was he a jokester messing with future generations heads? _____________________________ HONESTY IS NO LONGER PC.

We have a famous Grist Mill out in my neck of the woods that is quite famous along with the chapel across the street. The area has been used in many local movies. It has been one of my favorite places since a child. I love the smell, sounds, and water.  Thanks for sharing, you sure made my afternoon more enriched seeing your fantastic pictures and story. Enjoy.
