[TowerTalk] Concrete Base?

[Pat Chiles]

I just put a UST HD 555 up about two days ago.  The UST documentation said 
that the cement reached it maximum strength after curing 28 days.  My 
neighbor who owns a construction company, that does lot of cement work, told 
me to wait at least 2 weeks.  This was not a problem for me since the tower 
arrived on the 28th day after the pour.
