A Gardeners Forum Forums Willy's Place The Further Misadventures of Wild Willy Episode #26... Wild Willy's Wonderful Wind Machine

It's amazing what you stumble across at garage sales sometimes. My newest yard ornament was originally at a 1950's "themed" drive in restaurant on US Highway 2.
The blade turns freely in a slight breeze.
It stands 7 feet to the roof peak and 10 feet to the top of the blade. A door opens in the back to facilitate garden tool storage or possibly little visitors who show up at Cedar Hill now and then.....

(The Willy in the photo is 12 inches tall)

Tell me... HOW COOL IS THIS?????

That is freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to repair some of the trim and do a little touch up painting but I'm leaving the original paint job.
When I saw it at the sale I HAD to have it! (and it was only $200)

That is so COOL!!!!!

I wanna come play!

What fun yard art!

That is just the coolest thing! I know my "little visitors" are going to get a kick out of it the next time we come up.

WHAT the heck is that thing for?! Is that poor gnome trapped up there on that wrap-around deck? ...WHERE'S THE DOOR?
(Looks like a feature for the 7th hole!) Hey Willy, ask Bill if he has a place where you can Build a Mini Putt!

i like it. i would have one, if i could!

Nowwwwwwwww that would be a neat idea....
We go play at a person's house *the Boyscout troop goes* that bought an old putt~putt set~up..
It is soooo much fun...
You could landscape fun stuff *low maintainance stuff* inside the game...

Orrrrrrrrr you could put a mini~pond by it and make it look like the ocean and that it's looking out on the ocean..

*Justttt some ideas*

Awesomely cool!!!

I LOVE IT

That is so cool....LOVE it!!!!

Ooh a pond/ocean out front and dutch bulbs all around for spring....

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen!!!!

I also think a really cool putt-putt spot is a great idea!

I have NO IDEA, but somehow I KNOW that it will be the cause of a lot of work when I finally figure it out!

In the back!

How about if he just sets up a wild and wicked Croquet Course?

No........

SEE! I KNEW that thing was going to make work for me....

That would look great out in the lawn where you have set up the croquet set before. And instead of overlooking an "ocean", it can overlook the field of green, gazing down upon the Bus Stop. It would also look nice in the Rody forest.

Last Thursday, my Wonderful Wind Machine suddenly and unexpectedly shifted into high gear and began spinning at approximately mach 7.
For the next 24 hours, it created havoc throughout the state of Washington. I sincerely apologise to the 1,000,000 folks who spent the last week in the dark!

Are you okay?

Dianna

Wow!

That wind machine is a dangerous weapon!

All those trees down. You all sure had it bad up there. Is that the main road headed up to your place?

Those trees are way to close to your house. Glad you made it through safe!

So THAT'S where that new Willy came from that landed in my yard!

(I'll send him home on a bus, Bill...he said he didn't like flying.)

Holy wind Willy! That windstorm made the news here in Ontario. Hope you made it through OK. Looks like you lost a lot of trees.

Wild Willy..., WOW I'll bet that was a little scarey!!!

When are we going to get more stories of Wild Willy's Misaventures??? And pics????

I don't have a camera anymore, so it may be a while...
