The problem is that it's full of asbestos, so surely a better and cheaper solution would be to have some kind of sealant that can be sprayed everywhere to prevent the fibres being released.<br /><br />Safe demolition and clean up is going to be very expensive - I found <a href="http://www.asbestos.net/news/asbestos-danger-at-former-air-force-radar-station.html" rel="nofollow">a report</a> that says they are asking for $11 million.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751383359424192213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33239354.post-2073528195520423612009-08-10T20:41:25.362-07:002009-08-10T20:41:25.362-07:00I remember pretty specifically the conversation wi...I remember pretty specifically the conversation with Stefania. She asked: "Are you sure you want the radar tower there, no one will notice it." I said, "I'll know, Wes will know, I want it on there". <br /><br />It really has been something that is part of our every day view here, and also a reminder of when we worried about submarines off our coasts.<br /><br />I find it ironic that people will rally around saving a falling down old house where nothing much ever important happened (The Jobs house, and let's call it the Jobs house, because Steve Jobs is about 1000 times more famous and more important than the original owner), but everyone thinks it's a good idea to tear down something that actually is historic.<br /><br />I know the tower needs to be cleaned up, but I'll be very sad to see it torn down.Paul Romerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611698299196821493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33239354.post-28750379955363702822009-08-10T20:32:42.844-07:002009-08-10T20:32:42.844-07:00I've seen the fog you talk about...and from up...I've seen the fog you talk about...and from up on the hill.
