re: CD Windmill

Thanks Albert I have another one with 2 rings of 9 arms ( 36 CD's in all) and it runs all year. The CD's get dull after about 3 years  in 3 seasons. I usually take it in  in the winter when we are gone. Last year the other one was frozen in the pipe that is always there in the ground so it stayed out all winter. The wind and snow was so bad in the winter that it flexed the rods and the CD's hit the pole and chipped every one of them- it still ran fine.. So I changed all of the CD's and made new spacer pins for the reels that put them out 3/4" more on a side for more clearance. I will take it down earlier this year.
