[TowerTalk] house bracket on tubular tower

[David LaBat]

After taking everything sent to me, both onlist and off, first I owe
everyone thanks for all the information. Second, I am not going to put the
tower up brasketed to the house, since there is no way to get to the roof
trusses short of taking the roof off!
    The situation makes it so that I can only put the tower in one location:
dodging flak from the local restricitve covenants group. Yes I probably can
put it in the front yard, but the compromise is they won't sue if I keep
it"out of sight" when not extended. Also, and maybe more importantly the XYL
said thats where its going! There is no way to get the roof trusses on a
vaulted ceiling with no attic!

    So I am going to wait out the winter and in the spring put in my new US
tower MA550 on a US tower self-support mount with a lot more concrete. Any
volunteers to help move the mud? The truck can only get within about 75feet
of the hole location. It is downhill so my question is:
    1) Will it run, through a trough, downhill with a 8 foot slope over that
75 feet?
    2) Anybody got a base they want to sell? Otherwise my tower price just
doubled in budget with the extra concrete and the base. Thats why I am
waiting until spring $$$.

Thanks, es 73
