[@lukebrehm1986]

I love it! I’d love to spend a night there.

[@ME-xd4he]

Mr Neal is amazing and so was this short documentary.

[@shellpohl1935]

This really touched me deeply.

[@laurenm6511]

I love that you're restoring that place I think it's wonderful. Keep thinking what a wonderful place for a horror movie...no where to run. Lol. Good way to raise some money to restore it.

[@jimajams7080]

I live in South Australia, and it has been my dream to go and stay at the Frying Pan Tower since I first discovered it existed a few years ago. I would love to offer any help I could in contributing towards restoring this amazing structure. It's an amazing place, so is the owner. It would be awesome to be out there during a cyclone to. Good luck with your restoration, and fingers xd I will be able to travel there one day soon.

[@bobbrown5529]

amazing place . Hope it's restoration continues .

[@Brandon84J]

She's gonna sit there all day with that crescent wrench 10:20 lol. I hope I get to see this place one day

[@paulsocia8972]

OK these people are rocking it I have been watching them for I think going on 4 years, but this doc. He said we got all the tools you will need 1 min. Later they have someone tightening a bolt with pair of vice grips! Sorry too funny!

[@PointlessCharisma]

I don't like to eat fish, I don't like heights, and it will have to be by boat cause I've never flown in anything in my life and don't wanna change that. But there is no chance that I don't spend a week here at least once in my life. No chance

[@JoeyyTube]

I staying there one time!

[@williamoleschoolarendt7016]

I would love to stay there but I doubt that I would get any sleep without air conditioning! I have to be cool when I sleep or I'm not sleeping!

[@shirleerogers5969]

I'd love to go there...but would want to stay longer than a weekend.

[@jasperedwards2713]

the legs are corroding soon or later it will tip over in sea

[@bradrainier106]

Yep. I’d be real concerned with support deterioration all over the structure from salt water and time. Without complete replacement of everything- the structure is not safe in heavy seas/ winds. 🙁

[@ernestlcolemanjr]

I'm leaving my comment here & going to see how long it will take me to stay here Kuwait time 3:17 PM 6 FEB 2023.

[@mobileplayers5008]

What gonna happens if a big ship crashed into your frying pan tower?

[@tyronerodriguez7250]

how can people donate

[@suehowie152]

Google it.. I'm sure you will find it..😊

[@sandbridgekid4121]

Needs that original staircase to the ocean's surface replaced.

[@sandbridgekid4121]

With the stairs restored and a floating dock, would increase access, and allow a platform for diving, fishing, visitation.

[@jackfrost5794]

Used to be something very interesting,but now it's all about the money apparently... 💰💰💰👎now it's just another rich man's play land...👎

[@jasonjennette7389]

Repairs cost money. And when you're 30 miles away from anywhere, the costs are dramatically higher.

[@suehowie152]

Just wow.. How do you think you keep something like this going? From fresh air?

[@stephenp6411]

Richard paid like $10,000 for the tower and lives in an apartment.

[@jackfrost5794]

@@stephenp6411 , wrong get your facts right if you're gonna voice your, (incorrect) opinion....he bought it in a government auction, for around 80 grand for it....🙄,duh... he even said, it was that or a new Corvette....😐 & now you know.

[@Phil-km4up]

International waters...uh no.
