Has anyone had experience getting a building permit
for a tower with screw in earth anchors?  How does
it get "inspected".  There is no empty hole for
the inspector to look at.  Do you show him the anchor
before insertion?  If you have an authorized AB
Chance installing contractor put in the anchor,
do they issue a certificate that you can show the
inspector?  In a sense, this contractor is also
the engineer and building inspector all in one.
