Title: Message

I won't skip, but I don't want to waste. I want to do it exactly what is needs to be, well, if it's suppose to be a 48 inch hole, I'd do 49. But I don't want to have to do 5 ft. I want to figure enough for the job without wasting material and time. Believe me, I want efficiency, not corner cutting.

I know. On one hand I want it good enough for a CPE, but on the other hand I don't want to hear on the news 20 years from now that it crashed over and killed a guy when he wanted to put his VW Bug on top of it. I want to build it to take whatever people want to put on it.

> Portland cement has no gravel. I'll mix it 4 parts to one. So.....those 15 94 lb bags are like 60 94 lb bags. I had figured I needed 1.28 yards for the hole I dug. But now that I have the specs I will see how big the hole has to be. I will only put a CPE on this tower. Nothing huge.

I dug a hole 32 inch square by 42 inches deep yesterday for a rohn bx tower. It is 5 sections of 8 ft. I just got 15 bags of portland cement

and will add my own gravel.

I was thinking about three 1 1/2 inch pieces of pipe stuck in the concrete

to bolt the tower legs to. I will

thread and put couplers on the pipe at 22 inches so they can't move. I've

got some re-bar to chuck down in the hole too.

I've got 3 8ft ground rods and will bond with #4 bare stranded wire. I

picked up a load of grade 8 bolts,

washers, and lock washers for bolting the tower together and to the pipe

stubs. Anyone have any suggestions

for me? This is my first tower. I will pour tomorrow afternoon. brian -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
