Just so no one thinks I am crazy :)
A couple of guys have talked about needing guy wires. and that probably many
others would say the same thing:
I do plan on putting guy wires on but just cant afford them right now. I will
add them after I get it all up in the air.
Problem is, I was off work for two and a half weeks due to shoulder and neck
problems so our paycheck is very limited right now. I
am back to work so should be able to do the over time to be able to afford them
in a month or so.
I have to figure out a way to make a gin pole to get the other sections up so
while I am doing that I figured I would put the base
in the ground to set good. and then probably to the guy wires after that.
