Neither rain, nor ice, nor the cold weather can stop the gallant restoration crew from working on our lighthouse.

Well maybe I am exaggerating about the weather because it has been rather nice these past couple of days at pier’s end.

Yesterday I believe the sandblasting of the top and middle levels was completed. The bottom level is next and then primer paint applications.

Let’s hope Mother Nature cooperates just a couple of more days.

It’s been fun spending time at the lighthouse. I even watched a fisherman reel in a giant steelhead!

Happy New Year everyone!!
Tom Renner, Retired but happily busy

Here is what the well dressed sandblaster wears when working on the South Haven Lighthouse. Precautions against possible lead paint and asbestos. All material that is removed has to be captured and properly disposed of. Photo by Tom Renner, busy as usual even though he is retired.
