I know what you mean. I had a flight instructor think I was an idiot during autorotation practice in a helicopter. From my point of view I took the rotor speed right up to the red line. But since he was in the left seat parallax error made it look like I was overspeeding the rotor and he would violently punch the cyclic forward each time.
Many years ago and I still wake up mad about it. I kinda hope I run into him in a Starbucks someday, him taking orders behind the counter...

Next day we came to the site to finish cleanup and it had been cut down. They were kind enough to leave a sign on the fence as to which union local we should contact if we wanted to build it again. Thugs. The moral of the story, Hire at least one union guy in a union state.

There's about four of them that are really active, and between the groups probably 30,000 members in total. Put out a message that you're looking for a contractor and see what you get back.

Towers are 140’ and the site will be completely prepped ahead of time. Concrete work will all be done and the towers will be on site waiting. We have talked to one company from Lower WI so far but they are doing a lot of large cellular constructions this summer and priced these two in a similar range. I took the quotes as they didn’t want to be doing these small of jobs. If anyone knows of someone of if anyone on the list is interested in this they can hit me off list for more details. If you are out of the area and willing to travel up give me a shout as well might be able to make it work. Thanks, Brandon
