Damp Flags (by sarah)
Yesturaday the Rainbow people for the Mill came and said pretty much the same as was said of the Bakery - its naturally damp the amount of moisture goes up everytime it rains so the buildings at pre-flood levels.
Al asked about the 'long-term' solution and it would be taking up the flag stones and putting a layer undernieth but that isn't going to happen so for now its just getting carpets back in and rugs back down.
Unfortunatly the mill is basically sitting on a spring in the front part by the front door and when the water table rises it comes threw the floor! The water table is exceptionally high still and the guy showed us the visible damp patches on the stones - 'you can feel the damp with your fingers!' he told us demonstrating 🙁
