OK,

I am using a plumb bob...First test attaching a plumb bob at 20 ft level (top of 2nd tower section)...I see about 5/8 inch of deviation from Sight A and 1 1/2 inch deviation from Sight B

Drop a string with weight (plumb bob) from leg at 20 ft point. How far is string from leg at concrete base? Do it with no wind.

Hi,

I have a problem...i discovered my first tower section is not plumb...something happen after concrete cures. Remember i have 3 ft buried in concrete and 7 ft above concrete (1st section).

I add the 2nd section and i am planning install the 3rd section with the permanent guy wires.

What to do to correct the plumbing ??

Thoughts?
