That may have been my neighbor, NI6T. When he heard I was considering 
it, he strongly advised me against it for one simple reason. Most guys 
who will climb your tower know what to do when they get up there. Tree 
climbers won't have a clue. Garry had exactly that experience, and it 
cost him a bundle.
