Tower from hell??
 
This is what we had to use, while waiting for the new tower to be built. Amazingly beautiful or what?:ooh:

I remember working in something similar whilst waiting for a tower refit some years ago. It was quite cramped but nowhere near as cold as that appears to be though. I don't recall having massive tie-down blocks attached to it either.
We had to lower ours when the wind was forecast above about 40 knots. This was somewhat interesting when you still needed to control but the OH&S regs precluded people staying in the tower whilst it was raised/lowered...

At the other end of the scale, whilst the facilities in Baghdad Tower were 'salubrious', it was quite uncomfortable when it was 45-48 degrees celcius outdoors and our air-conditioners hadn't arrived in the mail.

Amazing what grows when you plant in the snow.
