First mill up

Post by Cwatts22 »

Finally got my first mill up and pumping one year after taking it down in central Kansas, disassembling, repairing, reassembling, and errectings on my property in southeast Oklahoma. A very rewarding experience. What a great addition to the landscape. I find myself looking up alot now. Thanks to all the people who share there knowledge on this site. Now its time to find another one

Yes, they are not my particular favorite, but they are for some. That's fine with me. Even Roger knew I wasn't a Fairbury (fan) but we still liked each other. lol
