July 30 – Team 6 keeps on painting

Team leader Kathy Sanders reports lead remediation is complete on the main floor of the 1867 lighthouse and that she’s moved on to the second floor hall. Various volunteers have worked toward this goal, starting in 2017. Kathy, though, has really been the heart and soul of getting this work completed.

The process consists of scraping and cleaning surfaces of as much lead paint and residue as possible, then coating with a special lead encapsulating primer. It’s sticky stuff and somewhat harder to work with, but does the job nicely when its not practical to get down to bare wood.

Mark, meanwhile, painted the lantern room roof, matching the oil house roof he completed earlier.
