My Tower Project is coming along slowly. Here I received my Tiliting Hinges and Prepared my Tower for Permanant Installation. I'm constantly checking the plumbing to ensure that the tower is Perfectly Straight to the best of my Amateur Abilities. Enjoy my video!

I’ve got a local building supply place that will sell a half yard of reddimix in a trailer. Two trips and I’ve got a yard. I can’t imagine mixing that much by hand, and even a small mixer is problematic for a big job. My neighbor did a patio with a mixer pouring into those small mold forms, and he said never again even with two teenage sons helping. You did a fabulous job doing it all by yourself!

Very nice. The process of a one person project works fine. I cant wait until the antenna has been mounted and the cart to raise the antenna. Thanks.

You did a fantastic Job, Capt Darren. Just let one End be 37 and the other End 39 as long as the Tower Segments are centered. That's ok...it allows the Rain Water to run off. You are the Man...good Job. 💯👌

Hey congratulations Capt! Looks great and you’re spending your money on the best part of the station. I did mine just like you did. The only thing I would have done differently is Jab some rebar into the side walls. I bet your neighbors are going to love you! 😂

I did this a year ago today, 30 bags took me about 4 hours to do. I was dead tired after. I feel for you! K1CXS

How does the single bolts lock the tilting action? Great job on the installation! 73Zzz

I would have waited for the concrete to cure before so you have to work so WU5E

Is the job complete? You did one heck of great job for one man!

Thanks. I still need to put up another section and attach the rotator and antennas.

I am curious to see how you are going to raise and lower the tower. I have a 40 ft. The foundation is poured, and a welder is building a hinge plate that will tilt. I want to be able to lower and raise the tower with a winch. W4RGG

@@rongann1955 I'm planning on using a AC powered winch probably the one from Harbor Freight. Once I have it raised, I'll also use the winch to raise the Hazer up/down.
