• From last year's P&P auction.
  
  Finally had time to work on it and get it pumping water to the tower.

• Jeez, what a well designed windmill that does four things...twirls, pumps water, turns water wheel and bangs a couple of small anvils.  Wow...I have never seen such a piece and in perfect condition.  Great buy.

• Some photos of gaining access to the pump, which come to find out was plugged up.
  
  One reason it took me so long was I really had to look the mill over to make sure there wasn't another way to get to the pump itself.  In the end, I used a hole saw, as you can see.
