• Walked into my local hardware store this arvo and this was right as you walk in.
  Its around 7' or 8' and pretty well built for the asking price of $100
  
  I didn't buy it....but damn I want it....but what would I do with it?

  original size to complete the assembly

• Hi Jim,
  
  That windmill would look good anchored to the ground somewhere in between your home and the lake!

  I just realized that the barn is 50 years old this year.
  I built it May 1971 to hold my garden equipment. It was built
  from an article in Popular Science.
