I like the windmill and water tower. But I think someone needs to question this expenditure.
I remember when they were built. Are we going to be on the hook for a quarter of a million every 5 or 6 years? Those timbers should last longer. Also, if they need to be replaced, take bids. Don't just take someone's word for it that they cost that much.I built a 7000 ft timber frame house of timbers like those used in the water tower for about $750,000. So, when someone tells me the demolition and reconstruction of that windmill will cost $250,000, I am going to take some convincing.
