Getting closer

Nice picture and it sure looks like that is one big crane.
Would be nice to have something there for reference to see the size. From your previous pictures I kind of know the size of them blades since they where resting on round bales.

Thank you for posting.

Peter

Peter,

I have to visit this project once every two weeks......The project is near a small town in Southwestern Minnesota. This is the the front page of the local paper on the day I was there......Should give you an idea of the scale of things......Al

Al: all is revealed! I could not figure how they could lift the blades with one crane, now I know the secret.

Pete,

I was thinking of you when I put the $.50 into the newspaper dispenser.
Thanks for the interest.

That is one big crane!
Looks like a delicate operation getting the blade in place.
