[TowerTalk] Tilting over an MA-770 or MA-850

A house I am looking at has a slightly peaked roof that is 32' high at the peak,
but the roof has a 6' overhang (picture a log cabin where the roof sticks out 6' 
in front and in back of the house).

For a whole bunch of reasons, a crank up mast has to sit 13' from the wall of
the house. The mast is only 23' retracted, so that is fine. But the maximum
boom length would be limited to 12', so that the mast could be extended and
easily clear the overhang.

So, if I wanted a longer boom, say 18', and I had the tilt over MARB/MAF
base set up properly, could I tilt the tower maybe 5-10 degrees, extend it
10', return it to upright, and then continue to extend it to full height?
