That's pretty neat. It's 35 mph out of the south today.

With the 45 mph gusts it would blow down your Windmill?

More of the same tomorrow.

No they hammered down in the ground long braces with holes in the braces then they used a power tool

to shoot screws thru the holes in the braces that's hammered into the ground.

guy said he never lost one yet. Reckon tornado could take it. Hope don't happen I'd be out some bucks

least of my worries though I'd guess if tornado came around.

@SharkE. It's gorgeous. I bet it's the best in the neighborhood. Hope it doesn't take off get blown away when the next cold front breezes through Wednesday.

A neighbor about a mile up the street has one. I stopped one day and nosed around theirs. So, now it's his on the north side and mine on the South side.

Out of curiosity, why would one pay to have this "windmill" in their yard?

Popular in Tx./OK area. Mine is 11 ft. high.

Some are 20 ft. high.

Not in my front yard. I have 2 1/2 acres, so, I got

plenty of space .

@SharkE , love it! I have a metal one but the top blew away. I replaced it with a decorative topper. My neighbour has one too. We both took the top off during winter.

I liked to see how hard the wind was blowing so I knew how rough the lake was to swim or how to dress for a walk.

Yours is a sturdy looking one!

Thanks hun ! I had went thru a bunch of other smaller

decorations all around 50.00 and they didn't last 5 min.

I had one I had my handyman to put together for me

and the blade assembly blew off as he was pulling away ! Aaarghhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!

This baby should do the job ! I'm not anywhere near

any water. ROFL

@SharkE - I'm just curious: is this windmill just decorative or does it have a purpose?

Re: Hey Kachina624

SharkE — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 15:46:58 GMT

Decorative

Makes me happy

I always like to know which way the wind is blowing.
