Gentlemen...
First of all a little clarification....
1. It is a 75 ft tower not a 90 ft tower (the mast is 21 ft)
2. It has a base of over 3000 lbs of concrete in the ground (.75 cubic
yards)
3. Does my "90 ft tower" weigh any more than anyone else's "90 ft tower?"
4. If it settles then the guys will be tightened to compensate.
5. I have no neighbors near enough to have issues with a fallen tower. I'm
in the country.
6. The tower is covered by our homeowner's insurance under the group of
"outbuildings and other structures"
7. Yes..I am "proud of it".
Those that have been courteous and helpful..thank you very much. The others
can just go fish....or any other appropriate phrase you may think of.

You do a continue check on the guys and keep tightening.

With this being a guyed tower I find it hard to believe that the feet
will come out of the ground or do anything but sink farther into the
ground do to the weight of the tower and the soft soil.
Tell me what happens to guy wire tension if the weight of the 90'
tower allows it to sink further into the ground?
