My small wind generator build

I finished building the tower sections. One is 13.5ft and the other is 10.5 ft. I think the connection I made for the 2 sections is quite rigid and the complete 24ft tower feels like a single section of pipe. My wife and I were able to stand it up on the base and I clamped it to the wall bracket on the end of the barn. I'll post pics soon. I ran the wires down the pipe and into the barn too.

I'm working on the electrical panel still (slowly). I need to find a good inexpensive 30-40amp DPDT relay and then things should hopefully come together and work okay.
