The bathroom is mostly finished except for the plumbing and the toilet solution.
The bathroom wainscoting is complete.
The bathtub needs to be brought down from Certified Marine before the banister goes back up on the staircase.
The following items are still “in progress” and on-going:
The bedroom floors still need work, scraping and sanding before they are varnished
There is still some trim painting to do.
Sanding, priming, painting of various windows is still an on-going job
Upcoming jobs:
Painting – The Ulster County Sheriff work release program will be painting the outside of the lighthouse at the end of August. It will be completely stripped, then sealed and hand painted (not sprayed on). We are looking for the LOAN of scaffolding to allow us to reach the upper half of the lighthouse.
