Growth.

Outlet from the mill pond. Watson pond as it were. The other building, saw mill I think, would have been here.

Attached to the side of the Short Stop, where I walked up to the outlet. I say outlet as the dam in under construction and the bridge in the middle of town is out.

Is there something ratchet straps arent good for?

Not sure I can call it a scaffold.

Turnbuckle(?) for the floor presumably. Or to stop inward collapsing.

Underneath the footbridge that is in place of the bridge actual during construction.

Wide open gate. Black tube is haphazardly shoved thru. I bet the water pressure alone is pushing on the ratchet straps.

Bridge actual will sit here. When gate is closed water will flow out here.

I walked to the pipe. I believe it was sewage. It smelt ripe.

Still looks like a mill race. Ha.

It could have been the other pipe that is sewage too. Not sure how the wind was blowing. Gnarly either way. Water would do wonders to those pipes.

Wheel to raise and lower the gate. Because of the construction, much of it was covered.

I didnt think it was this bad at the time. I never made it to another floor and dont think I should try. But may in the indeterminate future. If I were moar suited up, I may have gone for the second floor.

How do you get in the building? I have tried to find the way in multiple times. Sorry this comment was so late.

I had good timing apparently. As you can see there is nothing in there aside from a non maneuverable mess of collapse. I also dont discuss where or how to get into places. Like you, any other time I went this not accessible.
