Comments: Greetings, my name is Jim Basting and I work for the
South Cascade District (the old Linn District) of the Oregon Department of
Forestry. I am in charge of Green Peter Lookout, it's maintenance and the
hiring of the person who will man it. I thought I would send you some
additional information. In 2001 we decided to start refurbishing the
lookout, it had started to deteriorate after 34 years and with out some
action it would be gone. With approval of the Linn Forest Protective
Association we started with a new tin roof which changed the roofs shape but
will last many years and require little maintenance. This past summer (2004)
we hired a contractor and tore out all the dry rot and replaced pretty much
everything from the floor up. All 2x4's that hold up the roof, all exterior
siding, all the old windows, all the deck and guard rail were replaced. Cost
for the refurbish in 2004 was $8125.00 and well worth the expense.
