Hopefully this turns into a find!

when you want to get an existing tower for cheap, or free, you don't go to the owner's house and ask about it; you go to all the neighbors' houses and ask them to sign a petition regarding how it's an eyesore.

then after the pressure mounts, you casually let the owner know that you can help them solve their problem.



KIDDING!!!!

Good luck!

And just to put it here......

Think of a "gin pole" as a "minimal/small crane".
It usually clamps on to one leg of the section BELOW the one you want to remove... and is tall enough to stick up ABOVE the one you want to remove....
It has rope and pulley.....
You clamp below, tie the rope/cable up to the top of the section you want to remove, position yourself below the section you want to move and pull or crank on the rope or cable... to pull the upper section off of the lower....and then you can lower it to the ground.
