Exactly.  I  have found that the hardest thing to do on a project like this is 
to co-ordinate my time with someone else's.  If you are trying to assemble a 
crew, you have to co-ordinate your time with the others and then co-ordinate 
their schedules with each other's, sometimes virtually impossible.  It probably 
goes up in difficulty in proportion at least to the square of the number of 
helpers; four times as much hassle with two helpers as with one, nine times the 
hassle with three people, etc.

Here's an incident report of a tower fatality that occurred a few years ago 
with a professional climber, apparently due to his failure to follow standard 
safety protocol. He bet his life on the integrity of the structure he was 
climbing, and lost the bet.
