The newly acquired tower , think adult erector set , is starting to come together . All the parts of this tower had been dissembled , every nut & bolt , gerts , EVERYTHING ! Several containers of square headed nuts & bolts , long , short , + a bunch of miscellaneous "stuff " .
Those of you who have the 2022 windmill calendar , look at the photo for March , The caption under the photo is Bob Scott , it says "Yah , he's got it "
I visited Ames Okla this past summer and yes he has windmill stuff I could not even imagine .
I needed the top plate to connect the 4 legs together for Ideal Steel , he had it ! Thanks Windybob .

Well , today we erected the Ideal Steel, tower & all at one lift . 3 bags of cement holding each corner down . Sure looks pretty and singing in the breeze . Just because it's up doesn't mean its finished . As you know there still is a lot of stuff that needs attention .
One more comes back to like !
