A Lighthouse on the Top of a Hill in the Middle of Nowhere: How I Built a Lighthouse - Paperback

by Allan McGuire (Author)

For lighthouse enthusiasts to do it yourself builders interested in buildings with character. This book follows the challenges faced by a retired couple who love lighthouses enough to design and build their own 32 foot tall pepper pot lighthouse on the top of a hill in western New Hampshire. Building pepper pot lighthouses, common to the Canadian Maritime Provinces, is a lost art. With no plans or lighthouse builders to tap as resources, they re-invented the process using current building technology. This book includes photos of each step of their quest resulting in their own private lighthouse... a unique structure ideal for a workshop or even a tiny house.
