Joe,

Hi. It appears most of the damage resulted from the fall. I ended up having to replace 5 fan blades and 4 supports. Also tightened everything up again. I don't think the wind ended up causing the damage, just the darn fall.

I ended up concreting it with some lag bolts up and bolted it down really good to the concrete with the help of my Dad. I love the windmill, just wished I would have done this the first time.

I get some pretty nasty winds my way several times a year - as we are open. So, I will keep this post in mind as wind moves through if I get any damage.

I subscribe!
