[TowerTalk] New Tower Old Base

[Michael Goins]

I can't imagine that being a good idea.

The base that was original extends into the concrete via a welded cage or
the attachment to other tower (which does the same thing) and is then bolted
to the tower. I would be surprised if you could drill holes deep enough to
manage the stress of windloading with just a simple bolt replacement into
epoxied holes.
