Actually this post has nothing to do with the Lord of the Rings or anything of that sort.
But still, towers.
When we got here to Topsail Beach there were a couple of these towers, right next to each other.
So...
In fact a crew was coming to work on it in the morning.

One evening The Fuzz was out and about, and chanced to meet some of the town workers.
He remarked that there had been a lot of activity lately in the area behind the fire department/town hall.
This was also the location of these 2 towers.
They told him that they were preparing to remove one of them.
It seems that tower "B" was only temporary, which explains the apparent redundancy.
In fact a crew was coming to work on it in the morning.
The Fuzz chatted a bit and it was pretty much agreed that none of them had any desire to climb up there themselves.
The Fuzz didn't think much more about it.
The next morning, while The Fuzz was out for his morning walk, he saw a crane arriving.
Then as he and His Sweetie were on their way out for a trip over to the Big City, they saw this out of the window.
Then, she drew his attention to the fact that there was a man on top of the tower!
Now this was something one does not see every day.
(Unless I suppose one is in the business)
Naturally at this point The Fuzz grabbed his camera and went out looking for a better vantage point.
And then he realized the man on the top was not alone.
There was a second guy below him, halfway up.
He worked his way up and around.
And hung up his bucket of tools...
Then went up to join his partner.
It was a long way up.
As interesting as this was, The Fuzz and His Sweetie did have a sort of schedule for the day...
And these guys seemed to have things in hand.
So they left them to their work.
By the time they got back that evening, Tower "B" was gone.
The next morning the crew was out there bright and early finishing up the job.
But this time they got to stay on the ground.
They were even taking up the base that was under the tower...
Loading it up...
And carrying it off.
Later, The Fuzz watched as the crew headed on out of town.
