This is a hard won lesson. The LXC Sub-Prime Directive is to "Break
tasks into their smallest, bite-sized chunks and do not try to do two things
at
once"; e.g. bringing up a beam with the coax attached, pulling up a tower
section with plates, thrust bearing, etc., bringing up a section with the guys
attached, etc. Everything is much easier when you do it one thing at a time.
