[TowerTalk] Plumbing a Tower

[Michael Goins]

With a crank-up, I always just align the bottom section with a long
(4'-6') level. The upper sections all leans some due to minor binding
when up, cable tension, etc.

With the one going up here (someday!) , as long as the base and lower
section of the tower is as plumb as I can get it, I won't worry about
the rest.
