Setting Windmill Tower..photo story

[Jassy]

When the dew is heavy,,the mowing crew got to help put up a windmill tower...always something to do no matter the weather...

The setup truck

Getting the head lined up

Attaching the head

Up she goes

Backing it up to the tank

Got it in place for now...

Katie caught a Salamander...

Tell your crew, any time they are ready, they can come put one up at our place

Was this a new well? or a replacement?

I have a well with an old hand pump here at home. I would like to pull that and put in a wind mill. is there a used mill place up there?? hard to locate a used one here that is still working.

any idea on the cost of a used one?

Lilly...I know Hubby is dreading the day the kids head off to college, they've been so much help this summer...the tower is a replacement for an old wooden tower that finally gave way. A neighbor built this tower for us...Jigs...I have no idea what it costs to build a tower...but the heads are the most expensive part.

Best part about it is, we already have a windmill and tower. Just needs puttin up.....somewhere where there's water. LOL

Wonder how deep it'd hafta be, there's a couple old hand dug wells in Mr Lilly's granny's front yard. Wonder if they'd work. Then all ya'd hafta do is show up with yer pole truck.

See..... a mini vacation to Texas with a windmill set up LOL That'd work. (Course you'd prolly hafta come in the dead of winter so you'd miss the heat)
