Water builds at the base of the tower that erodes the concrete footings
Portions of the footings have eroded away and will need to be replaced
Bolts and cross members need to be replaced
The galvanized steel structure will need to be sanded and repainted
We will replace the tower's rotted wooden steps and put wire mesh
on the handrails to improve visitor safety.
The landings will need to be replaced in order to make the tower
safe for visitors
The floor of the cabin has been weathering for almost two decades
and the walls have been used for "target practice" by vandals.
Both need to be replaced or patched.
The roof of the cabin will need to be replaced with a new structure
as will the cabin's windows.
