Cool...I'll study this stuff.Thanks Cracker!
The wheel size is prob going to be defined prob by the size of the building but will prob stay close to the size it is now sooo,..I will be looking at about a 4-6 'wheel and narrow in width (12 - 16 ") as it is more for looks and not function.
The 3rd and 5th pic you put up is the look I am trying to get,for the most part.I would choose to go with the stone type pedistal to support the wheel end bearing that is furthest from the bldg.Does not obstruct the view of the wheel as much and actually looks nice to.
I do like the channel water flowing thru a causeway.Cant use it at this location but what you cant see from my pics is that on the right side of the pic where the water is going down over the hill in black plastic pipe.It is a steep slope down to another area about 100 ' away where I have put in a Campsite so that when my Kids were teenagers,..they could party on our property without driving and getting hurt by DWI's.I have a pond started down there as well.
The water is going down there from the well house and I was going to make some sort of creek with stones or path for the water to flow thru.Now I have one good idea to choose from to do that.Stone is not a issue here as I have buiding stone all over this property...
