Finally!
The contractor didn't get the tower base in while the ground was still
frozen, but Saturday they came out and dug the 4 X 4 X 7' hole by hand.
It only took about 10 minutes..for the second hole. At 4 to 5' they hit
a field tile running through my backyard. What's a field tile doing
there? It had a pretty gooh head too. A 4" stream shooting 18 to 24"
straight up.
Then weather stopped them after digging the second hole, which is good
as they set the base backwards. Today they are pumping out the hole,
digging out the dirt that had fallen in and rotating the base 180
degrees. Now to get the concrete poured. It'll take about an extra
yard, but the extra is good.
Truck is on the way!
