This is what the turbine looks like uninstalled. It took two crains and a flat bed truck to get all the pieces of the turbine there and get it up on the pre-installed tower.

Here is a picture of the base of the tower. As you can see it is quite small. Probably 6-8 ft in diameter. The commissioned a tower from a company that makes poles for ski lifts. The pole was about 40' ft tall. It probably should have been sited better and a little taller for more effective use of the machine.
