They delivered my windmill today and it's going to town. Wind is at 25 MPH !!

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.

You should hook it up to a generator (!!)   di

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