p004609.jpg So we try again. For those of you who just tuned in to our program, the story thus far:
Many moons ago, John and Dave attempted to put up a windmill. Well, hurricane Opal happened and there was no more windmill.

With teeth gritted in determination, the two valiant heros set out again this weekend (May 6-7th) to put up Windmill Mark II.
Here we see Dave and John preparing the blades.

p004611.jpg Most of the windmill is assembled. Now we just need to find a few suckers... I mean strong people, to help get the windmill up.

We called in all the neighbours (who happened to be out in their own yards enjoying this fine spring day) and they came over to discuss how to get it up. p004615.jpg

p004616.jpg And up it goes!
Pretty slick, eh?

p004619.jpg Of course, when you get a bunch of people together on a Saturday afternoon, they stand around talking for a while and pat one another on the back for a job well done. p004621.jpg

p004622.jpg   p004623.jpg But wait! The job's not done yet! Chuck and Dave have to put on the windmill blades. p004624.jpg

p004625.jpg John holds the ladder. Chuck and Dave finish attaching the blades. p004626.jpg   p004627.jpg

p004628.jpg   p004631.jpg Well, it's up! Looks good, eh? Thanks to all the people who helped in this windmill raising endeavour. p.s. like the back fin? looks vaguely familiar!
