That is very cool!!!

I like the rustic look of it. It kind of looks like my windmill in Farmville (an online game). lol! What about little pieces of stained glass for the windows? Too bad you couldn't cut them open and put a solar light inside that would glow at night through the windows. It is a beauty though. I like the little walkway around the bottom. TFS!

Beautiful!! I remember some of those in So. Dak. & I think a large one at a cafe in Minn that we went to couple of times. Copper really jazzes it up!! Jan

Jeanne, I just had to post a picture of my Farmville windmill so you'd understand why I think yours looks like it. lol Notice my bunny garden with some cyber garden junk.

Jeanne, I just love it and I like the idea of it marking the spot of the septic tank. We had ours marked but now we have to look for exactly where it is so I may be coping your idea of marking it someway.
Luna I play farmville of course my farm is puny compared to yours ask me to be your friend so we can help each other.

That is a very nice looking windmill! I love the copper trim on it!

Wow, the revamped windmill turned out great, love the copper. This does suit your style more than the red and white would. It looks wonderful in your peaceful looking green yard.

Thanks, GJers!

LOL, luna, at your Farmville...wow, that does look a bit like my RL windmill! ...and luv your cyberspace GJ! TFS!
Stained glass would be cool...but I'm not lighting the inside...my little solar lights I have around don't really "light up" much of anything...but give an ambience that I do like...LOL! The copper does reflect from that yard light in the pic at night..which is kind of cool.

DH had moved this Dutch WM for me so I could paint it...so there's no flowers around it right now...in the Spring, my first tulips to bloom are around the base of the WM.

thanks for lookin'. Jeanne S.

What a great update to your windmill! Love the copper accents! And, boy, do I understand your amazement at the cost of copper....wow!

Where are those retired people who made the windmills and the whirligigs now....wish I could find them.

I bought recently at Michaels a small replica of this type of windmill in the unfinished wood section for birdhouses...only 3.98!

Is it solar or electric or wind driven the one you have?

VERY NICE! Good Re-vamp! Gotta Love the copper!!!It's hard to believe that it is 25yrs young!heh heh!

Great remodeling job. Luna I like your Farmville windmill and garden. I'm tempted to go to farmville now.

Thanks, GJers...when I drove in the driveway today, the sun was just a-shinin' off the roof...I do like it now!

It's wind-driven, socalliegal...DH has to tighten it down sometimes ...as we usually have some wind around here. And I don't know where those retired people have gone...this here retired person likes to make barnwood stuff! LOL! Jeanne S.
