Building the Ingram Base Station Tower

Most of the steps in building this tower are identical to those followed in constructing the tower at Maverick Internet. Since it looked pretty much the same, we didn't take as many pictures.

These photos represent work that spanned about three weeks in late Spring 2004. The rain didn't bother us much during this phase, but became a real problem later in the year when we needed frequent access for fine tuning.
