[TowerTalk] AB Chance installation

[john.brewer at us.schneider-electric.com]

I put 3 of those things in (ordered through Greybar... )  and they're really great.  I too live
in NC and 2/3 went in fairly easy, while the 3rd took about 10 hours to install. One thing that
helped was to sharpen the leading edge of the screw with an angle grinder...bevel it so it's
pretty sharp.  I'm sure a lot of what I was hitting was tree roots, so I know the sharpening
helped cut through some of those.

Other techniques....hit it on the top with a sledge hammer to crack the odd rock that the point
might encounter
Move it a foot or two and try again
Use a solid steel digging bar as a lever ( through the eye of the anchor)
Swear a lot.


Good luck! It can be done
