I have been reading all these posts and trying to figure out if my towers
will stay up or fall down. My guess is, I'm safe. My guy posts are 8 feet
long, come out of the ground 2', the holes are about 7' deep, there is
re-bar in the holes with the round pipe (6" oilfield pipe), but here's the
clincher that appears to be unusual:
The holes are augered into sandstone by the local power company auger.
Any P.E.s wish to venture a comment? I sleep at night. Should I be
sweating instead?
