Skip brought in the tower from his QTH on a trailer.  Here he starts to slide the tower off the trailer with some help from my brother Brian, NJ6N.	Skip and Brian slide the tower over in line with the tower foundation.  (Meanwhile, Dana hastily puts together the Cushcraft D3W dipole for the top of the mast, out of camera view).
The tower is pulled onto the base bracket.	Skip hooks up the bottom two hinge bolts at the base.
Raising fixture connected to tower ready to pull it vertical.	The C3 yagi was not ready to go up yet, but we put the D3W dipole on the top of the 10' mast.  Here it is, with rotator installed, ready to go up.
Here I am "raising the tower."  Count on me for the hard stuff.	Skip gets ready to put in the rear bolts after the tower goes vertical.
Its Vertical!	Here it is extended for the first time - needs more antennas!

After the tower was installed, I called the county to request "final inspection."  The idea was to have them out before I put the main antennas on the tower, and before all of the coax cables were connected, to minimize what the inspector had to check out.  However, the inspector did not approve the final - he left a "correction" note for me to have the special inspector back out to certify that the base bolts were tightened properly.  US Tower specifies "snug tight" - no torque - but the County wouldn't budge on this.  I had the inspector out on a Saturday, he spent about 20 minutes checking the bolts.  They wrote me a nice report, the County came back out and did the final approval.  By then the tower had the C3 yagi on it and was fully connected - they were only concerned with structural issues.
