Shawn starts doing a lot of pushing. "Come on Shawn, it can't be that hard!" The ground is soft, and the axle between the wheels is starting to bend.
W2TAG figures out how to properly thread the cabling on the raising fixture. It came incorrectly done from the manufacturer.
Hey, it's looking good! Everything is cabled and the tower is ready to be pulled up!
Progress at last! The raising fixture is earning it's keep right now. I was able to install the Force-12 C3S beam without anyone's help and then got it vertical.
The C3S is in the background waiting to be installed. I didn't work much DX when it was sitting on a couple of lawn chairs.
I took a lot of pictures of this phase, didn't I?
The next morning I finally pulled it vertical and installed the remaining 10 bolts on the base.
It looks wonderful!
The raising fixture and one of the legs showing all the bolts. It's a job to tilt the tower over, but I can do it myself.
Beautiful! Since this picture, I've added a 6 meter beam on top.
