While we're on the subject of guys and tensioning, what is the
method used to pre-tension the guys before attaching the turnbuckles
to the anchor rod equalizing plates?
I don't think I can pull them anywhere close to 670 pounds on
my own :-)
Also, how close to spec do you need to pull them before terminating
the guys with the final big grip and turnbuckle? I can't see
that the turnbuckle has all that much adjustment ability; or does
it?
I am completely unfamiliar with these things and my guy wire materials
will be arriving some time next week.
