The third and hopefully final tower is now complete. On June 7, 2009 a crew of VoV volunteers dug a 35 foot hole around the pole Puget Sound Energy installed for us. We had the help of Chuck Hearst and Reed Fitzpatrick of Center Creek Tractor and Property Services and their great excavator. Joining in the hard labor were Jeff Hoyt, Rex Stratton, Rick Wallace and Dan Schueler.
Jeff Hoyt organized this project every step of the way, from design to testing to purchasing the equipment to storing it in his garage to installation of all three transmitters. Remember to thank him when you see him next. This is a great community asset.
That ground was hard! After a former life as a gravel parking lot, it had in recent years been growing a crop of grass. Right under the sod was a layer of gravel and dirt down to the normal island clay. Most of the hard work was done by the excavator, truth be told.
On June 10, 2009 Vashon Fire and Rescue joined in with their ladder
truck. Chief Lipe, Assistant Chief Bob Larsen and Assistant Chief
Brett Krancevitch joined VoV's Jeff Hoyt and Steve Allen to complete
the installation. To see the second day's slideshow, click the icon on
