Hi Eric,

 I don't have a digital camera but a friend does. Then all we need to do is figure out how to send pictures.

 On the foundation I dicided to see just how little I could do, (I would do more than this for a customer), so my towers have 16'"diameter holes spec'ed at 6' deep with 6" pipe and rebar in the concrete. I say spec'ed at 6' because after the driller left I measured the hole for the 35' tower and it was only 5'. Now that I know that this is  enough, I would probibly go 2' diam. for a paying customer and be totally confident.

 Three years of Colorado front range winds and not a speck of trouble. The Bergey tower goes up and down several times per year as I take the turbine to shows and workshops for display.
