More Windmill Progress

recently we had a day that it wasn't raining so hard (in the morning) that the trenching for the wire to the house could be done. that consisted of going from the windmill pad through the "orchard" under the fence and through (with permission from her) the perennial gardener's (faux wife) territory. then across the lawn (such as it is/was) to the "kill switch box" at the house. the "turf" was laid back to be replaced after trenching and yours truly reverted back to his ditch-digger days and tackled the "under-the-fence" portion.
neighbor Mike mounted neighbor Dick's tractor and dig (and backfill) we did until a mid-afternoon thunderstorm squashed the project. Fortunately, we were quite close to finishing with only a few feet left to fill in.

Jim Rock from Atlantic Air Power and his capable assistants Will and Isaih came and removed the templates from the tower base, added some new nuts and washers and prepared the site for the tower which is scheduled to be delivered the week of the 13th.

the next project for mike and me is to run the wire from the house to the base. more to come!
