Hey Everybody, I know you all are tired of this water wheel but I just wanted to show you-it works!
Here is a link to the video of it running. We have worked on it so long that it seems like a dream that it actually running now. http://georgiafarmwoman.blogspot.com/2008/05/video-of-water-wheel.html I promise, I am finish showing off the water wheel for a while. I need a break from it too. You all have a good day.

Pam! It's beautiful! I love the sound it makes as the water goes over. You and your dh should be very proud of what you have done. :)

Thanks Karin and Janice. It is so peaceful to sit and watch it after all that work. We still hope to have the generator working some time this summer.

Thanks RoseMarie. We haven't had much time to enjoy it yet. My husband is on another project, getting the sawmill back in working condition. But I expect to be sitting down by the water wheel this weekend.

Thanks Lisa and Linda. Linda I can't help but laugh when I see Linder. I have 2 older sisters, Linda and Brenda. When I was little we were sooo country. Linda of course was Linder, Brenda was Brender. The good part was, I was Pameler. One day Linda came home from school and said we couldn't talk that way anymore her teacher said so. I still don't mind being called Pameler though. It sounds like home.

That's a great story! My dad is the one that started it. He's creative he called me "Linny the Schmoo" too! Nice to be loved, huh?

I for one am anything but sick of that water wheel!! I loved watching it progress. It is so beautiful. I would love to have something like that. You must be so proud of your husband.

Thanks Miss Wilma. I know what you mean. I love to be by the water too. And Mary Jane, I am proud to have a husband who is not afraid to tackle projects. It wears me out a lot of time, but it is worth it in the long run.
