The 18m tower ready to be lifted

This weekend I didn’t manage to get a lot done at the station. The horrible autumn weather made my mood bad and all I managed to get done was to lift the pieces of tower in place and assemble them. I also attached the two level of guy lines, attached the control cable for the rotor, so now its ready to be hoisted. I have scrapped the original plan of using a tree to winch it up, because the angle didn’t get 100% and also the tree feels a bit too weak. So I need to figure out how to get it up because I don’t feel like using a ginpole either. That is very time demanding and the top section weighs a bit too much for me to feel safe about it. So either we’ll use the small village crane or get an excavator to pull it up, I’ll make some calls.
