That’s right, we discovered in our contracting business that old TV towers are being replaced by satellite TV in rural areas and the old towers are going unused. Homeowners will pay you to take them down. It takes only about an hour and we usually charge whatever the homeowner feels is reasonable- usually 50 to 100 dollars.

They are rid of a nuisance to them and you will have a brand new tower to put your wind generator on- simple.
