Hi guys:
Ok I think what I am going to do after all of this is simply install the base,
stabilize it so it sets up and then wait until I can
afford to do the rest.
Thanks to one and all not only for the advice but for the noticeable concern.
I will take it all to heart and wait a bit on the rest of the install.
Now the only thing I cant seem to locate is the PDF for the freestanding specs
for 40 feet.
Can someone pls send the url for that, I looked but cant seem to find it.
Sincerely.
Bob AD5VJ
