Next, here's a batch of pics from the tower and ground. I got the top section set in place with the rotator, top thrust bearing, and pulled up all guy wires in the process. It was heavy, but it's now in place and awaiting me to tension the guy wires first thing in the morning.
Looking up the tower, the tool bucket is at the 70' point.
Looking down the tower from about 50'. Beautiful afternoon to be doing tower work!
A shot of the tower section being hoisted up the tower. It's at about 70' in this pic...
Another shot of the tower section being hoisted up the tower. I pulled it up with the rotator, top thrust bearing, torque arms, and guys wires already attached. it was heavy, but nothing my wife with her lawn tractor couldn't handle :-)
100' Section bolted in place!
Sorting guy wires and getting them dropped down the tower in their proper place...
Heading down the tower...

OK, I'll get the guy wires adjusted in the morning, and then the antenna raising begins!
