Roy - I have a neighbor who has had a windmill for 7 years and has never had an ounce of trouble with it. His is a four legged model and he has it mounted with two legs on hinges. It's a 20 footer but we get it to come down very easily with two of us. Each fall he and I lower it for a good cleaning, lube, and inspection. We'll probably be getting together to do the annual job again in a few weeks.
