We received this great e-mail Wednesday:
“I fly a helicopter and every now and then go over your school. It’s always a pleasure to see the windmill turning . . .because it tells me what the wind is doing on the ground. I see it’s no longer up. How may I help to fix this?”
We realized we haven’t explained what is up with the windmill.
Ed explains ” It started making noises so we checked it out and found that some of the nuts that attach the blades had vibrated loose. We need to make a new blade mounting plate and put it back together with lots of Lock-tite.”
When it’s time to rehoist the windmill we’ll be sure to ask for help!
