Ricky,
My situation was:
84' Trylon self-supporting bought used (3 years old) - $600
5' x 5' x 5' hole dug with shovels by two local Latinos - $100 plus $10
chicken lunch
Concrete pumper to get concrete from street to hole - $300
Concrete - 9.75 yards (I dug the hole out more myself, thus the 9.75
yards) - $350
Crane with operator to raise assembled-on-ground tower - $300
Tower climber - $200
Case of beer for me and my buddies - $20
The look on the neighbors' faces - Priceless

Ok, Hypothedical situation.

Thats 1150 plus 625 shipping.
Assuming 200 bucks for 1 day digging with a rented back hoe for the hole.
How does one estitmate total cost from there.
Im swimming in numbers.
