Hello All

i will be receiving my TX472 shortly from US Towers ,
their recomendation is to use a wrecker (which is much
more cost effective than the alternatives) does anyone
have any experience/hints ??

following a thread concerning hauling/pumping concrete
from a week or two ago i checked into it in my area
and discovered that it isnt really feasible here.... i
have to go 250' plus... the pumping guys charge
$165/hr with 4 hour minumum.... $2.50 per/yd of
concrete... since its over 140' run they have to bring
in a second truck with a one time fee of $100, which
is roughly $780 just for the pumper plus the $450 for
concrete...so i guess i am going to have to get
permission from the neighbors to let me rut up their
yard since the septic system is between the road and
the tower base....
