- Why not hinge the tower say 10 feet up and then put a counterpoise on the tower at the hinge point, then put into the ground next to the tower a 1 foot diameter pipe imbedded 6 feet down in the groun

- My suggestion was the rope over the roof as a sky hook, for a block and tackle rig that did the lifting. Otherwise, there will be damage to the rope, the roof, and a bad situation with a lifting crew
