I don't have a picture of the top yet but I'll get one soon. For grounding I was looking at a .012" thick x 2" wide copper ground strap made by the same company that makes the magnetmount. Link -> »www.metal-cable.com/page7.html The cables and grounding strap will be ran down the center column.

NO attachments to ladders. Bummer...lol. It seems like it would be pretty difficult to run cable down a water tower leg. Like...how do you do that? Seems next to impossible. Do you lower yourself down the water tower leg with a rope and attach the CAT 5 along the way?

Just don't do one long straight section or else the tension on the wire at the top with all the weight hanging from it would do it in.
