Narraguagus Update #2

  The second part of our Narraguagus Light lantern project centered around getting the glass to the lighthouse and installing it. Four crates weighing roughly 85lbs filled with fragile glass carried across an island that could break anything it wanted.  The mosquitos had grown bigger since our first trip out and probably have helped us carry the crates, but were too focused on lunch.     

      Once the glass arrived at it’s destination, the hardest part was done. Now just pull it up the side of the tower by hand and rope, and set it between a metal frame and metal stops without breaking any. With a little luck on our side we were able to install it all, the glass, the stops, some of which we had to replace and the bolts, all without too much issue. We re-caulked the glass and did the final coat of all the paints and coatings. 

       Narraguagus Light was by far the biggest challenge we've had working on lighthouses. I also think it's safe to say this was some of our best work and going forward it will be the job that all other jobs are measured against.  

        A ship doesn't sail without a crew and Dunnybrook Co has the best crew around. Without you guys, this job would not have been possible. Here's to our next adventure.
