Thanks all for the postings, I am redrawing the site plan now.  I will also
be referencing  the  rohn spec pages for tower on the site plan for example
the base will be shown with an arrow and text "concrete base 3'x3'x4' per
manufactures drawing xxxxx"
Same to the anchor and guy drawing.  I hope that will be easy enough to
understand for them.
