Against all expectations, the first phase of construction is slated to start today. In a staggeringly short time, we (OK, Ilze) found a contractor and arranged for him to start on the demolitions work.

While I have a thousand Readers Digest-type How To Pick Your Contractor articles clamouring in my subconscious, Ilze merely saw someone at the supermarket wearing a t-shirt advertising a construction firm, accosted the gentleman there and then, and enquired whether he was in any connected to the company on the t-shirt. He was. Would he be interested in our construction project? He would. Might he be available to start in the immediate future? He might.

He had a look at the site, took a few days to draw up a cost estimate, and as I type this he and his crew are presumably doing something destructive a few feet away from the windmill.
