        Sounds good to me, that's  the way I do it. I also tape the bundle 
every foot or so to make a smooth run to  minimize any snagging. 
 
        Speaking of which, please  be there by the tower watching it any time 
it's moving. If you're not and  something gets hung up, it'll be a calamity. 
I've seen a couple of them and it  ain't pretty. Or easy to fix.
