[TowerTalk] phillystran length ?

[Bill Parry]

Bill,

One additional thing. After I got everything finished I was real concerned
about my grandkids hanging themselves on the bottom ends of the guy wires. I
noticed that the power company put some long yellow plastic "tubes" on their
ground wires on their poles. I called, got the phone number of their
supplier and bought six for the bottom two sets of guys. (The rep was a ham
and brought directly them to my house!!) This was a real good thing and has
saved "grandpa" several times while mowing the yard....the kids are smart
enough not to get hung up!
