You'd want somebody local, since this requires two trips at least 28 days
apart...
Having installed this model before, comments:
-Tower retails for about $3700 and I agree installation cost should be same
ballpark;
-I hope you got the "MDP" model (motor drive) because the manual crank model
builds strong bodies more ways than Wonder Bread. After cranking one a few
times I wanted to change my name to Schwartzenegger...

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tower installation
I have purchased a US Tower TX-472(72') crank up tower. I am now
looking at having someone do the installation. Specifically, dig the
hole, fabricate the rebar, install the rebar and pour the
concrete(approx. 4 - 5 cu. yards) and lift the tower into place. Has
anyone had work like this done and what is the ballpark for such a job?
There is nothing special about the istallation, or location, or
accessability, and also no guy wires needed. Basically just a slab and
drop the tower on it. I have already pulled all required permits. I
have already received one quote which seems a little high( 2.5 times
cost of tower). I don't mind paying and figured the install would run
about the same cost as the tower or so, however, I don't like getting
taken as this quote seemed high? Looking for advice.
Thanks,
Bill
