How To Build A Windmill - Free Plans

Like most things in life, you get what you pay for if you shop wisely. Many times, something marked as "free" may not be worth the cost, especially if the item or information is of substandard quality. Chances are, you'll spend much more repairing or adapting the "free" item before it will meet your needs.

The same applies to free windmill plans. Sure, I believe that someone may offer to give away some "free" plans to build your own windmill. But before you start building your windmill with these plans, better consider these critical points.

Are the plans all-inclusive? Most times, when something is apparently given as "free," there's a catch. Maybe the information given is just enough to get a person started building a windmill a certain way, then the plans call for a "contribution" of money to get the rest of the plans. This can be done in a very sneaky way. The plans could be so vague that you never really are sure exactly sure how to even start the project. Or, critical parts of the plans are intentionally left out so you can buy the "upgraded" package - at a greater price than you'd ever pay for any other quality set of plans.

Are the plans from a reputable source? What confidence do you have that the company is knowledgeable? A reputable source - that can be a difficult thing to verify. Usually, if you ask questions of a reputable supplier before the sale, the answer you receive could convince you that the company knows what it is talking about, or not.

Does the company offer a guarantee? If there is no guarantee of satisfaction, then you're taking quite a risk - unnecessarily so. I think it can be quite telling that no guarantee is offered. If a reputable company wants my money, there better be a money-back guarantee - no questions asked.

Does the advertising include any testimonials? Word from other folks who have actually used the plans is critical. While, most people who do give testimonials may not want their email address broadcast world-wide, the advertising should at least give a realistic-sounding testimonial that doesn't give a lot of false-sounding praise.

Does the advertising make a lot of claims that are hard to believe? Do they promise to solve all of your problems for a small, one-time "fee?" Does the advertising claim that their plans will generate 100% of your electrical energy for only $100 in parts? To me, that sounds like false advertising. Better stay away from those guys.

These are just a few of the common-sense things I'd be looking for when searching for free windmill plans. Better to buy the best you can afford - you won't regret the decision.
