[TowerTalk] Crane costs

[Bob Bogash]

> Cranes must be a lot cheaper where you live. 

I've been renting a lot of cranes the past year or so.  By the end of 
this month, I will have spent about $75,000 on cranes in Toronto and 
Seattle!

Cranes in the Seattle area are not expensive, altho if you live out in 
the tooleys you may get clipped for a hefty travel charge.  About 6 
hours over two days at two locations set me back about $1200 - hardly 
the cost of a tower!

I made up the following web page to prove a point to the Toronto airport 
authorities regarding their red tape B.S., but it demonstrates what the 
costs and equipment looked like for me.  Some of the comments and 
material is extraneous to this discussion.
