Work goes on at windturbe

After fixing/improving the help-construction for setting up the tower (big thanks to Ricky!) we decided to reduce the height to only 8m, because the second lifting-up testrun showed the forces are unrulable with that construction. The weight of the top (120kg) is too heavy in respect of the lever-arm (14m). We plan to remove one 6m-part of the mast.

All systems running!

The Solar roofs are finished and on power-line since 2 weeks. Next step is to close the workshop extension completely. Thanks to Collette, Yo, Maudane and Ernst for bricking the walls and flooring. That was a great help!
