[TowerTalk] Making guy lines visible

[Larry]

Making the guys visible is good. In addition, perhaps a few concrete
blocks away from the guys could be done in low wall temporarily. If
the contractors try to drive over it it should get their attention before
they hit the guys. It may not help with something like a tractor bucket.
