Nice job!
I don't think you can reduce the weight any further at this point. If you are planning to assemble the tower in Florida, make sure you take a plumb line, a level and some sand paper with you. Before you glue them together, make sure the chimney remains perfectly vertical on top of the base. Otherwise, the tower could easily fail prematurely under the load.

Nice job, indeed.
A VERY long way from where you were. Agree with SLM's advice on putting it together- the key to getting the best out of it.
Good luck!!
