[TowerTalk] New Tower .. stacking and feedlines?

I am planning a new tower installation.  The antennas I would like to stack
consist of an HF tribander  TH3-MK II, 6 meter beam, 13 element 2 meter
beam.  I also have a vertical 2m/70cm antenna that I was going to side
mount.  I was also thinking about adding a 6 meter halo type antenna also
side mounted.  I would like to also have a wire antenna too.  Now, is this
feasible?  Also, how do you handle all of the feedlines?  The tower is to be
approximately 150 feet from the house and I will bury the coax in conduit.
Which leads me to yet another question.  How do you get all of the feedlines
into the house and yet have them properly grounded-this all has to be xyl
pleasing in appearance too.  Are there any books on the subject?

Thanks, and I'll keep working through the archives.
