The installation phase of the tower work is almost done. There's still at least one custom-length section, which has to be made offsite and brought up, some last bits of assembly and some work at nearly ground level.
Then the electronic side of things begins -- a lot of measurement and adjustment, using nifty gadgets that we don't have, operated by a specialist while I look over his shoulder.
I still have work of my own, including adding some analog monitoring that we expected the equipment to have as a matter of necessity. It would seem that in this day of network-accessible graphical user interfaces, "necessity" isn't what it used to be. Our basic remote control system still is all steam gauges and contact closures, though, and so I'll try to work something out.
It should be interesting.

Glad it's moving along, and that the light at the end of the tunnel is probably not an oncoming freight train.
That is not going to be a lot of fun.
