Mid-April completion hoped for Windmill project

    ELK HORN – Millright Ben Hassett and his crew are planning to arrive in mid-April to complete the construction on the Danish Windmill project, officials announced this month.
    The Mill’s restoration project has been met with delay after one of the 67-foot timbers for the new sails that had been air drying for more than a year turned out to be of inferior quality and could not be properly shaped.
    Officials said it was determined that replacing only one of the sails with a good timber instead of the two that are really needed would not be a prudent course of action based on the existing structural deterioration of the old timber.
