The Bird feeder barn and wind mill seem to be popular, I have seen qiute few in the past year.

I've had my windmill for long time got it new for $8.95 back in 93-94.

 Rudy,

I'm curious why you didn't elevate the roadbed since you've already built  it on a wooden base (I think those are pallets)?

Walt:

I never gave it much throught until you mentioned it now.  Every time from now on when I'm down on my hands and knees in the gravel I'll be thinking about it though Smile
