[TowerTalk] Help with fixing a leaning tower (NOT Pisa)

[Gary "Joe" Mayfield]

It might be interesting to talk to one of those foundation repair companies.
Mudjacking, and the like are expensive, but it does work.

Would it be feasible to engineer new 'dog ears' to attach to the present  
dog ears using the holes vacated by the tower bolts? The tower then would 
bolt  to the new dog ears with new bolt holes etc.
 
I realize this may only be a time buying scenario if the ground continues  
to sink or shift.
 
If it does buy time, then it may be possible to dig out around and down  
deeper on the side the tower appears to be headed and pour another big chunk

of  concrete  to stop movement in that direction....just things I would
think 
 about anyway.
 
Good luck es 73!
