Windmill has a top

 After us looking at it like this for 11 years, and at least 30 plus years before that.  Because who knows when the original fan fell off. 

We finally Have a top!  Bret and I spent about a couple of  months getting this thing ready.  Scraping off the rust and old oil, spray painting it, and hooking up the tail and all the other gadgets that go with it.  It's amazing how complex these things are.  I re-printed all the lettering on the fan with all the original lettering of the manufacture, and where it was made, and all the numbers and everything.  That was fun.  But finally its up and it's spinning and it looks beautiful.  I smile every time I look out my window and see it.
