Default Tristao towers

You are getting a building permit (not to be confused with a

Well, not to fall into the "I don't need one" category, but this
tower is akin to putting an extension ladder along side the house.

Two sections, not self-supporting. Once the base section is in
place, you can raise the second section. Total height is 38 feet.

But I will check the local building codes to see what they have
to say about things. I believe (may be urban legend) that certain
"structures" (both masts and towers) may have a "not needed below
a certain height" condition.

Were this a self standing 85 foot Rohn beast and I were planning
on doing more than maybe a simple tri-bander, I wouldn't hesitate
to have it engineered first then pull a permit.
