I have a neighbor that has a 40-foot or better windmill tower. Like one of those old 4-legged aeromotor windmills that used to pump water. Except the head is gone and there's no obvious evidence of the well below. Base is like 7 feet from one foot to the next.
Now I'd like to move this tower and re-erect it somewhere else. Is it possible to (slowly) lay down the tower using a cable or chain and likewise use a cable to pull it back upright? Or is it likely to collapse...and if so can I "beef it up" to give it the strength it needs to survive being laid down, moved a mile or so, and re-erected?
Or do I need to dismantle it? Thanks!
