A foggy week here at Graves, but work continues.
The guys from CCI Construction have finished reinforcing the Oil House and are waterproofing the tower, while up in Maine, cabinet makers Nat and Don are building some of the last of the magnificent interior furniture and fixtures.
Bill O’Neil, our reliable neighbor from Hull, just sent us this gem of Graves Light and Fog Station enveloped in a thick fog.
The rigging basket to the right belongs to CCI Construction.
This week, CCI is completing the most exciting painting project – the very top spire of the tower. Fearless!
Mike from CCI Construction waves as he starts work sealing the roof of Graves Light.
Back for their third season: Mike Sylvester and his team from CCI Construction are back at Graves Light again to seal it from the seas and weather.
You might remember Mike from two years ago, as he was suspended 80 feet down over the rocks to repair the outside stonework.
Now he’s 113 feet up to seal the roof.
One of their tasks is to caulk and paint the conical roof above the lantern room. Here’s a shot of Mike, roped in, of course, waving as he prepares to work. The lantern room has been a source of leaks, but the guys at CCI are sealing it all up for us.
While surveying the masonry today at Graves Light, Mike Sylvester of CCI contracting made an exciting discovery: A secret cave. You’re looking at the first-ever picture from inside.
