Drill hole for take down position and for full up position, suggest a 2' overlap for stability.
Also

KJ4WXH had the idea for the bucket base. What is it with Italian and cement anyways.
Me, KJ4VDJ, well I came up with the telescoping part playing with cocktail straws after a few brewskis at the American Legion. MacGyver time!
