I have two things here that need to be rehabbed. The poor rose bush needs to be moved soon and the tower is a base of a windmill that my dad made probably twenty years ago. I haven't had time to really do the work to recreate the tower but it is on my to do list. I have the blades in the basement for the windmill part, they need to be worked on too. Dad gave me one of these and when he died I brought home the other one he made for himself. So I really have two of these to work on and get back to good shape. I like items to have some weathered look but I don't want to loose them due to over weathering either. I will get to them someday.

Nice that you got your windmill as well as his. It should be a goal to get them both in working order. As you said.
