[WARC] James' tower raising

[James Jarvis]

Update:

We ran into some technical difficulities while erecting the tower 
yesterday. The guy wires were too short. New guy wires are being 
manufactured as I write this. If the wind is low enough, we will use a 
crane tomorrow to take down the tower sections up (50ft) and then lift 
the combined tower and wind generator. This plan hasn't been finalized, 
however.
