Wonderful job Jim ... thanks for sharing.

Although I hate to see damage like you show it is instructive to those who may think, 'I tightened the nut on the turnbuckle... that should do it.'

There is a reason turnbuckles on airplanes have safety wires on all the pieces.

I used to change the lightbulbs on 1000 foot TV towers. all the turnbuckles on those towers had wires going through them too , , ,
