ratholderen Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 nice looking windmill why are there not many left I think it cost a fortune to repair it, and there are not many people left who are educated to do it, spicially the wings. Here in Dk many was breaked down, or converted to houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratholderen Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 it would be good if they could turn them into ones that could genarate power because they would look nice high up on a hill I have heard that one had got a generator mounted, some are museum and make a litle bit of flour for selling to raise a bit of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Stunning building Erik and a great shame about their demise. The same has happened here in the UK. Nearly every village would have had a water powered flour mill. Now they are either houses or falling down. There is a guy who pays people to put a generator in their mill house, or people can buy their own. Any electricity that isn't needed goes into the National Grid. More people should do it.
