Abbott's Mill repairs week 5

Another post has been replaced in the basement.

Same post after color has been added. Why are these posts being replaced? The next picture is the post that came out of this spot.

Apparently the termites feasted on this oak post for quite a while!

In front of the mill, next to the road, they are getting ready to replace the sill beam with concrete.

About 24 inches of the siding has been temporarily removed to provide room for the concrete forms. Rebar is being added.

These pictures were taken on Friday when it was raining and no one was working.
