K1VR:  Start with a broom handle.  Tie a string at one end and hang a
weight to the end of the string. Slip through tower at top of present
height (wx/not broom handle is level is irrelevant). Step back and
eyeball the string and tower.  The string is your "plumb bob."  Compare
the edge of the tower with the line of the string and you'll know. Can't
beat the price or speed.
