Whitewashing the tower – Fox Island Lighthouse Association

Carl and Dori Behrend of Old Country Painting & Restoration, well-respected lighthouse restoration professionals, headed out to the island Saturday escorted by Lightkeeper and the FILA team of Cathy Allchin, Pete Koeppen, John McKinney, Linda Posler, Kathy Sanders and Captain Joerg Rothenberger. The scope of work includes: prepping and painting the underside of the 1867 lantern room, whitewashing the tower, whitewashing the backside of the Keeper’s quarters over the “lean to” and prepping and painting eaves, soffit and facia boards. Carl had rigged a lake water supply and started work cleaning and prepping as the FILA team returned to Northport.
