Get a crane. How will you explain to your grieving family that to
skimp on a few bux, you risked your life or health on a rickety tower.


Treat this just like a big dead tree that is going to fall on your
house. Would you climb a big dead tree to cut the top half. Ask a pro
if he would. (He'll use a bucket truck which doesn't have questionable
support for his frail, perishable body.)

At the moment I can't think of a stronger way to phrase this.
