Bit hazy about how it was left at the end of the series, but I remember wondering how it was going to add up buying the farm as well as starting the dairy and building the processing unit. But wow, that's a slick bit of work :(...

I saw a complete wind turbine in an auction, but have no idea of the power of this kind of windmills. I know similar small turbines with a shaft height of 12-15 meter have a max. power of 10-15 kW. Does anyone recognize this turbine? How about the foundation of these kind of turbines? The EAZ...
