    That's another LXC Law: Most everything to with working on a tower 
usually takes twice the time you think it should. Or three times. Or more.

    In my case I've seen lots of different situations (not all of 
them...yet!) so I usually look at stuff in a worst-case-scenario point of 
view. And I've done them enough times that I can tell pretty accurately how 
long something's going to take. But I've worked on over 150 different ham 
installations over the years so your mileage IS going to vary - hi.
