    Can I have one of the old ones they’re taking out? How much do you think it would cost for delivery and installation? Hmm…

      Delivery probably isn’t as much as you’d expect it to be since it’s just the turbine being replaced.

      Installation on the other hand, would be a massive bill since you’d need to erect your own windmill to install the turbine into.
