Pouring the Cement for our Redriven Wind Turbine foundation

Six inches of rain added to the fun and created a big mess for the cement pouring. We had to get a special pump and pipeline to transport the cement to the turbine area. With all the rain, the cement truck would have gotten buried in the mud. So we had an unexpected expense to pump the cement from the driveway to the turbine site. The installers were very nice and professional inspite of the gruling rainy work conditions.

The digging begins!

The digging begins for the foundation of our wind turbine.

Still no digging

Déjà vu

We are still waiting for the digging to begin. They say it will be the beginning of next week if all goes well. Apparently, the digging on the projects before ours are are not going so well. They said they would be here Wednesday last week.


I got a copy of a letter from NYSERDA. The letter that said our installers had 120 days to get the system connected. Unfortunately, the letter was un-dated. We got our approval from NYSERDA back in July. I would think those 120 are running out soon.
