| Bob, This one looks great. FYI: I went out there this weekend. The

Thanks, I had wondered if you had any observations direct from the source.
I went by what I saw in photos of three sides, only side not seen is
opposite the connected building.  Okay, so no stilts, but it sure looked
like at least a crawl space beneath the larger building.  In any case I must
get some windows and doors put on there.
I found that the light is said to have a revolving lens and yet also is said
to only flash every twenty seconds.  So my rotating light beam is probably
wrong.  In fact it appears that the landward side glass is blacked out but I
couldn't tell from the photos.
About time I start on another lighthouse soon, since I've got the basics for
all now,  and leave this one a little unfinished or risk breaking taboo  :-)

Bob
