[TowerTalk] Concrete curing time

[Ed Karl]

Kent-

We kept our foundation covered with burlap for about a week and then 
opened it up. The sprinkle
treatment is generally for slab rather than a foundation.
Part schedule, part overabundance of caution, waited 2 months to hang 
the tower. 90 foot AN Wirless.
Up about 7 years with nary a problem.

Good Luck, we're all counting on you!
