I bought the windmill as a project a few years ago. I got the brake system and the gear box all working. It is not hooked to a well. But it does spin and function that way. I have paper work from when and where it was built back,in the early 1900s. Big yard art

The long wiener dog house is actually my well house hahahahaha

Thanks for the explanations. I don't see a proper (rural) location in my future, but I'd love to own an old windmill and make it power... something. [S :D

.
 
Rural is where it’s at Dr C! I couldn’t live anywhere I couldn’t take a pee in my back yard without a neighbor seeing me!:D Got to say, Brian has got me beat on the view though, that place is beautiful.

I’d hook that windmill up to some kind of generator and 12 volt battery system and use it for extra lighting. I figure with led bulbs it would work pretty good.

Thankz guys, I would enjoy less neighbors. But it's all,good. There is no one behind us. So thats a plus. The 12v generator would be cool for lighting!!!!

Got more done tonight. Steel rack/ storage shelf is done. Also,moved in air compressor, will be nice to have more volume so I can run air tools, next I will start cleaning the cabinets that are in there amd get them ready to,put stuff in them. Also have to,finish the other half,of the buildimg wall tin. Getting closer

Oh yeah, also got and set the last 2 blocks I was missing. Now I can finish the pad!!

bob. You hit the nail on the head.:)
My wife and I look back at the things we've done and ask each other."How the heck did we do that". Not because we don't remember, but because of all the things going on in our lives at the time.....
