Well, I just met with the contractors and we were able to reach an agreement, we just have to sign a damage waiver, and be there to move/remove equipment as needed. I am curious about the suggestion to cover equipment with burlap, how if at all does this affect the signal, also they will be putting a Geo-tarp up, will this affect the signal greatly 900Mhz and 5.8Ghz

We were given 1 week notice that a large water tower was going to be sandblasted and painted in a neighboring community. Which really stinks because the city knew this was going to happen 6 months ago. Luckily we found a tower at a local college where we could move our equipment to in the interim. They expected this to be a 3 month project and we are about 2 months into it now. Alternative solutions are slim to none where you are except bringing in a mobile pig. These mobile towers can usually get up to about 100' but will may be cost prohibitive depending on the revenue on that particular tower. I rented 3 of these towers last summer for a school system from a company in Oklahoma. I googled mobile towers and everything kept pointing to one basic company. I was surprised there were not more scattered around the country. Another option might be to contact the cell phone providers in your area and lease a tower from their fleet............although that may be a challenge in itself.

Evidently there is lead in the tower and a contractor is coming in to sandblast and repaint inside and out of the tower, as well as bring it up to safety standards. The problem is this is the only location available in this area to service approx 150 subs, and we received 3 days notice on a project they have evidently been working on for 4-5 months. Anyway has anyone had to work around similar situations and if so how long does this process normally take... they tell me it could be up to 2 months. By that time there will be no one left that will want service. Any thoughts? __________________________________________ Patrick Nix, Jr., csweb.net (800) 638-2614 http://www.csweb.net <http://www.csweb.net/> E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==================================================================== ATTENTION: This e-mail may contain information that is confidential in nature.
