If you think collecting wrenches takes up a lot of space, try collecting windmills.

Fortunately, this fellow is in Texas, the Lots of Space state....

I proposed to my wife under a windmill in pa  they are our  favorite roadside attractions we always stop .when we had the farm we had a windmill that pumped water from a spring to the two big pasture tanks. I kissed it every day for fear of carrying the water   bob w.

I have always hoped to find one of the old electrical ones that were used for rural electrification in the 40’s. There is some guy that rebuilds them.
I would just like a little bit of renewable energy.
