Enjoyed watching you teach and give your grandchild a lesson in learning real world applications. I hope to see your Rockhill Farm logo on the tail wheel!! Good job Brock. It already looks sharp but will even be better once the 2nd bridge is in and the lily pads are reduced. Great job!
I bought an American Eagle windmill 8 years ago and I love it ♥ I installed an electric generator with a bicycle chain inside and it gives me air and electricity 💨 ⚡ Joe Mescan windmills are very strong and have steong torque the same Aermotor windmills. Good video 🦆
I have made a couple comments in the past. With suggestions on what to use to get rid of vegetation from your pond. Well, I have never experienced lily pads in my pond. So, I hope I haven`t steered you wrong on anything. As I see how those lilies are taking over your pond. At this point a lake rake of some type (Amazon has plenty) is probably your best bet. At least to thin them for now. Pull the rake with tractor or maybe some helpers on a 4-wheeler. Windmill looks awesome.
your videos were a big help in assembly of mine thanks . FYI we erected mine (same 18 footer) fully assembled with just 3 of us. I did have 2 legs on the hinges which probably helped. 3 average build guys, no wind, only 300 lbs, easy. but as Mescan and you stated the more the merrier for safety.
Nicely done, Brock. No doubt there were a couple of "oh, shoot!" moments in getting that tower erected - but in the end, it's up and no one had to call an ambulance. I'd say that's an entry in the 'win' column right there!
Nice job, Brock. Your humor and patience have shown thru today. Also, I'm impressed with your loving instruction to your grandson on the use of the impact driver. Future generations can always benefit, when they learn from those blazing the trail. Keep up the good work. Your videos are always the first ones I watch each day!
I have referred to your video several times and I have not yet completed the assembly of a 23'. The written instructions provided with this windmill are about the worse I've seen considering the price you pay for the mill. Thank you for doing the video.
It looks great. Ok here's my thought as a ROI. Build a covered pavilion with picnic tables as a rental venue for people to rent for birthday parties and what not. Keep the pond stocked with bream that are easy for kids to catch and allow fishing as an added draw to the rental. I'll be expecting a percentage of the proceeds for coming up with the idea so be sure to calculate that in.
Great video, Brock! Congrats on the windmill..it's a beauty! One minor issue that I thought I would mention (for reference/future projects) is that you generally want to wrap your teflon tape in the same direction that you will be tightening the fitting onto it. In this case, you went the opposite direction which can serve to peel back the tape and cause it to bunch up in places, causing micro gaps in the threads. Since it's not a high pressure element in this case, I don't think it matters much but just for "correctness factor" I wanted to point that out :D Otherwise..amazing job as always and highly informative and (as you promised) entertaining. Have a good one!
My 1st thought was..wow this guy likes nut & bolts! Reminds me of my erector set when I was a kid. Too bad your grandson didn't hang around while you were putting it together. Have you ever tried to put black plastic garbage bags or a large tarp over the pond vegetation to kill it? I have an area of stone that kept growing grass & weeds, I put a tarp over it (from Home Depot) with the black side up, the heat build up under it & lack of sun killed all the grass & every weed. Enjoy your work! Thanks for sharing your issues & problems, most would never do that!
Thanks for sharing all of your projects, Brock. Looking forward to what's coming up! Can we get a shot of the pond from a distance now that the windmill is installed?
Now I see what you mean when you mentioned the fun you had getting the concrete done in the podcast. Probably making you wish you only did the 4 inch by 4 ft pad huh? Haha. Looks good though!
Yeah, we carried Almost a full yard of concrete in 5 gallon buckets And his mix was to thick so it got stuck in the shoot and we had to climb up the shoot to shovel down. No fun in that heat for an old fat guy
Looking good Brock - the pond is really coming together! I appreciate the detailed explanations and leaving it to our imaginations for the challenges with getting the windmill upright lol. You are a wonderful grandpa letting your grandson help out. Heck in no time he'll be buzzing around in WALL-E like a busy beaver 😁 I'm impressed with the windmill - very cool! Now I just need a pond so I can have one. Conversation with my wife will go something like this... Wife: Why are we building a $10,000 pond again? Me: So we can get a windmill! Wife: Ah... Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work! 🤠
Where did you get the instructions for your windmill assembly? My brand says only bolts and nuts on blades. Each bag has 50 washers in it!! They say to use washers on only four parts of the whole thing!! Somethings fishy. Any help would be appreciated
Hey Brock, i just finished building my American Eagle windmill yesterday. Thank you for the video. You had very good pointers on the build. Question on the Y-valve splitter. Mine is leaking air on the intake side so they are sending me a gasket to hopefully stop the air leak. Did you have any issues with yours, and have you taken it apart? Im ready to see some air bubbles in the pond! Take care.

Brought back horrible memories of the quenset hut video with all the nuts and bolts😂😂 just messing. Looks great Brock!
I like when people attach duck decoys to their diffusers so they can be found easily and pulled up.
🦆 me too
Nice touch letting the gk help. He is quick learner and will be hooked as a wrench spinner thanks to you!

A lot of hard work but It's great to see your dreams taking shape. Thx for sharing.

Thank you sir. It means a lot
Great job Brock. Be proud of what you accomplished. You are a working machine!
congratulations Brock, you deserve it, you did work a lot for that project. Bravo !!!
Great job!! - now you need to build a nice bench to enjoy it all!!!
Nice work. Glad you were able to get the project completed and looking forward to see how it impacts the pond health.
Love windmills. It looks really good! 👍
Very cool brother! Mega congrats, it looks AWESOME! My wife is DUTCH, the DUTCH love windmills!!!!
Looks great Brock.

Thanks. Good luck with it. My mill has been up over a year and works great
Nice job Brock!

Great job , hopefully it works out great.

The pond is looking great Brock! You have put a lot of work into it.
Thanks

Great video, look Iike the lily's came back. I've found most store products that claim to do something usually fail.

Awesome video. That windmill looks awesome. It definitely looks like a 6 man job.
Yeah, I way underestimated the amount of weight at the top

Brock you do a great job explaining the assembly process! Again another educational video!
Thank you for doing this video. It was a big help!
Glad to hear it. I’ve had mine set up for a few years and absolutely love it
Can I hire your Grandson? He's incredibly teachable compared to a lot of candidates we run across. ;)
i was unsubbed by youtube. stupid youtube. glad you're happy with your project.
Awesome !

I have not had any issues with my windmill.
It pumped really strong all winter.
@@RockhillfarmYT Thank you. I'll change that gasket out when it arrives tomorrow and cross my fingers.
@Rockhill farm They sent me a new y-valve And it works great now. This thing is awesome
Agreed. Glad they provided good customer service.
👍👍
The first thing I notice is"I see aeration in the pond, but the windmill is not moving?" 🤔🙂
Haha....patience.....the answer why comes later......🙂🙂
Yes sir
Thanks for watching
I see that windmill not turning due to lack of wind and thought about FJB nightmare of wind power for we the people……
So you don't want a cleaner and better future?
Awesome video helped us out a lot THANKS 😃
