When a complex project is undertaken, I find it a huge benefit to do a sort of checklist.
This way I get my thoughts down on paper and can mark off tasks as they are accomplished.
Linked as a pdf is my Summer 2013 Tower & Antenna Repair-Service List: K9ZW 2013 Tower Repair Service List
Once complete this part of my station should be in good shape for a few years.

Day – Two
Second Day’s Efforts were truncated sharply by social commitments. Still got a fair number of tasks done.
Complete Half-Sloper repairs
Worked on Cable Stand-Offs adjusting them and doing a new “gate” cable hold-in on each
Adjusted Coax Drops attachment to recreate the rotor turn loops that I hadn’t spotted from the ground when doing my task list
The fabulous picnic party we attended extended prohibiting a second session on Day Two, so the tower re-erection is a Day Three task.

Day – Three
Tower is back up and in operation.
A few glitches to work out. The amount of lateral pull to pull the drop cables out of the stand-offs is too low and one came out from ham-fisted (pun intended) handling.
The Half Sloper has a twist in it – will see if gentle persuasion sorts it out.
Made quite a few contacts on 40, 20, 17 15 and 12m but missed my usual 160m net. Tomorrow I’ll try that.
Overall list is better than 60%.
