Abi and I walked past the windmill last week, and we saw the new crown sitting on the ground next to it, and a sign up nearby saying that the project was due for completion in May, so we knew it was going to be fixed soon. On my way back from driving Fiona to school this morning I spotted the top of a large crane in the distance. When I got home, I grabbed my camera and walked into het Twiske. I was too late to see them hoisting the new crown into place, but I was in time to see the second blade being mounted.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4269\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4269\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-14.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-14.jpg\" alt=\"men watching twiske molen\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4269\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I wasn&#8217;t the only one watching<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4258\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4258\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crane lifting the second blade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dropping the second blade into position:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-4.jpg\" alt=\"twiskemolen second blade dropping into position\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4259\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-5.jpg\" alt=\"twiskemolen second blade dropping into position\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4260\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-6.jpg\" alt=\"twiskemolen second blade dropping into position\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4261\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Percussive adjustments:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-7.jpg\" alt=\"twiskemolen hammering the second blade tight\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4262\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/images\/2018\/twiske-molen-10.jpg\" alt=\"twiskemolen hammering the second blade tight\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4265\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For reference, this is what the wind did to the old blade.
