Our Nuts Were Tightened!

Yeah!  Redriven came this week and tightened down all of our bolts. The tech said that just about everything was loose.  I guess vibration will do that.  He said the hub nut tightened down about ½ inch. There was another term the tech used to describe what he did to keep it from coming loose that they do now – tapped it or tinned it?  Does anyone know what they do?  I know someone that commented a while back talked about welding it or something like that so it couldn’t come loose again.

This year is such a freak year.  There is so little wind, that I had to wait two days to see the turbine even move after repair. Last night we got some good wind and I could hear a marked improvement in the sound the turbine was making. We didn't get the highest winds, but it sounded healthy for a change.   Let the winds come!
