[TowerTalk] permit in hand

[JoeCoolDXer]

If safety was really the issue, local governments would require permits to plant (and annual inspections) for *TREES*.
Falling trees cause far more injury and damage, than falling towers of the same height...

  Far from it. Indeed, exactly the opposite. The building department quite 
  properly required that you provide engineered drawings showing that what you 
  proposed to install was safe. They would be out of control if they FAILED to 
  do that. And you DID get a deal. I've been a (sound system) design 
  consultant for 20 years. My current bill-out is $150/hr, and I won't sign 
  anything I haven't checked myself. I'm NOT a PE, but I am a professional. :)
