Mill Restoration Progress — Scribners Mill

South End Restoration Project

The south end of the mill is the final piece of restoration needed to fully restore the original mill. The board of directors has begun the application for a DEP permit to finish this restoration. Once the permit is obtained, SMPI will begin fundraising to restore the mill section. As part of the restoration of the south end, the sill on the east side of the existing mill will be replaced, as it is deteriorating.

The photo here shows the mill with the south end section in 1975 prior to its collapse.

Sawdust conveyor restored

Using come a-longs on the inside and . . .

. . . the excavator on the outside, the conveyor is inched out of the mill.

The top end of the conveyor is secured to the bed of the truck to assist in the move.

As the excavator slowly moves the conveyor out of the mill, the truck moves forward with its load.

The excavator and truck carefully move forward to deposit the saw dust conveyor where it will be stored.

(Until spring, when it will be reinstalled in its original location at the back of the sawdust shed.)
