121. [TowerTalk] Tower Lift (with crane) with Antenna's Already (score: 1)

Theres a lot unsaid here. Would you add the new sections one at a time, working at the 10 level on a step ladder? That would be neat. Splice the cables ahead of time so they go up with the tower. Sam

Les's cost seems over the top to me, but then he has a 2 call... Les has about 8 yd, or around $1200 for concrete. How they got that to $4200, I'd like to hear. Mike's hole is about 4 yd, or $600 for

Has anyone used a post hole auger on a tractor to drive screw anchors?? I think they are a bit too fast, but might handle the job if properly managed. I'd rig a telescoping shaft, like on the pto dri

WOW, I'm all for DIY, but there has to be some knowledge involved! The tension needed in your case will be much more than the weight of the tower. Be sure the tower is rated for the raising tension.

Hi Vikas, Others will chime in, but I think 20m freestanding is more than you could likely get built/installed safely. So please tell us the following: Do you have a flat roof, or peaked? Roof materi

The base is fine, never meant to hold the tower up. I doubt the few pounds of ice on the wire were a factor. How were the winds? Was the maple swaying much? The tower is obviously strong enough to mo

Come to think of it, a reasonably fresh stump is a lot better than a tree. The tree can be uprooted or broken by ice or wind. If broken, the top can fall on the guy and overpull or snap it. If uproot
