Since we been discussing about changing skies I worked on it in PS and finally some of the memories how it was done came back.

Be careful when putting clouds in the sky when you have sharp shadows on the building.

I opened 2 photos in PS and displayed them side by side.
Opened the mill picture, and duplicated the layer and named it mil.

I selected the cloud background picture. Used the magic lasso tool to isolate the sky section on the mill picture. I cleaned up the edges and the background and used the eraser tool to delete the selected sky.
Select the cloud picture and copy.

Use the Mil picture and a new blank layer named clouds. Pasted the cloud file into the new layer named clouds.

The cloud layer was moved to one level beneath the mill layer. The cloud layer was moved until the darker clouds aliens with the shadows on the building.

Flatten the layers, save and name the picture

Hope this helps

However I am very new to all of this and just becoming competent with LR. PS is a deep dark cave to me.
