Hello friends! When you like, subscribe and share YOU ARE HELPING FUND THE RESTORATIONS OF THESE HISTORIC LIGHTHOUSES. Let’s make CZcams pay for some of the work. We really appreciate the kind words, positive comments and even the not-so-positive lol 😅 Thank you for your support ❤️ Let’s do this!
Please consider a few things:
- hard hats whenever something is lifted, from the boat or maybe later within the tower
- ladders, ladders, ladders...can´t stressenough how manny comercial and private accidents happen because of that
- fire extinguishers, bring em now, they´ll come in handy soonner than later
- consider barring with the annoyance of wearing life vest. at least give each other enough time to figure something out in case the other one falls
The light house will probably never be OSHA (that´s what it´s called in America, right?) complient, even more important to take some personal precautions
@@The210491 Thank you for the good advice 😊
@@thelighthousecenters just making sure there´ll be plenty of videos coming to enjoy 😜
@@thelighthousecenters since yawl are working traditional life vest wouldn't suit the situation however they do make emergency inflatable ones that pop when submerged in water. You need the autoinflation ones since the risk of hitting the water while taking an accidental nap is "high". love the content stay safe so I can watch more of it, as it is Not bad though. :P
@thelighthousecenters ❤ I love Bucke's too bro! Sweet Hat! I love what your doing to preserve historical places! #history #USA #lighthouses
Found this on tiktok, came to watch the real video 😂

Welcome aboard 😁 please subscribe! ❤️
Yo también jajaja

Found this on yt skits I came to watch the real video lol
Tips: Put LANYARDS on all the tools that you can attach to the House in the event of accidentally dropping them into the bay. Put the lights on the INSIDE of the lighthouse. The salt air will destroy the electronics very quickly. And put clear plastic bags around the lights (even when they're on the inside of the light room) to protect against salt air condensation. And lastly,
(don't forget the saw) 😄
I was thinking how horrible it would be to drop a tool! They need lanyards on THEMSELVES!
Never in my wildest dreams did i think i would be watching video's about a lighthouse. The editor always gets me with the memes and just random things added.
"Not bad though" always gets me and the slap counter is a must imo!
not bad editing thou 😂 yes thats great editing
Imagine being us. Blast and paint contractors in Pennsylvania. We never dreamed of doing this as a job. Never drove a boat. Never was on the Chesapeake bay. We didn’t even know these things existed. Next thing you know we are out there hanging off the side in open water and determined to get them restored. It’s crazy. The video production is somehow appropriate lol Thanks for the comment!
@@thelighthousecenters Makes one wonder where you got the idea to buy a lighthouse in the first place :D
@@Sredleg I have told the story in a couple interviews. I’m sure I will again 😁
Yeah, just showed up in my feed. It is fun to watch.
You should wrap the vinyl window material around the wood strips to make the vinyl tighten on itself in the wind. It will minimize the vinyl tearing at the screws when pulled by the wind.
I wanted to do that but the vinyl was too thick to wrap around and fit into the window ledge. It’s very strong so I don’t think it will tear. Thanks!
Better to get some window frames made and do a permanent job.
@@ronnieg6358im sure they plan to do that. This is an attempt at a temporary fix to keep water out til they can address it further.
@@thelighthousecenters It looked thick and heavy enough that it will only stretch a little in very high sustained winds, then just shrink back into the warm sun. I'm more worried a bird will fly into it thinking the window is still open.
@@MrWhateverfits we really don’t get birds flying into the lighthouse out there. We get big sea birds and they sit on top and don’t come inside. Anyway if they did run into it, it’s really soft compared to a window. I have a picture window at my house that birds hit everyone once in a while. Sometimes they die and sometimes they get up and fly away. They would definitely survive soft vinyl. thanks!
I love watching your videos. My grandad owned a lighthouse in the UK and some of my best memories were there, we had to sell it after he died but I do miss it. I'm lving vicariously through your videos and it's lovely to see how much effort and love you're all putting into the place ♡
We are glad you are enjoying our channel! We have much more to share!
As a roofer of 35 years, what you’re looking for to get that edging to go back down are rubber roofing plates and screws. The plates are 3” round and screws come in many lengths depending on how deep the wood deck is. A proper rubber roof will have the drip edging plate and screwed down instead of roofing nails, the rubber moving with the heat of the day will put tension on the nails in the drip edge and slowly start to pull it off the building. It takes about 10 years but the nails always fail, it’s one of our main rubber repairs due to saving some money by the roofer, sometimes it was just the way a person was taught as well. If you plate and screw it back down, you’ll at very least need a sealant safe for rubber to cover the screw head and the edges of the plate, proper way would be to cut and put a rubber patch over every plate and screw, but then you get into the expense of rubber, glue, cleaner and primer to do it that way. Hope this helps you out! Can’t wait for the work to really get rolling.
Thanks for the advice on doing it right. We literally didn’t know it was coming up until we went out there and all I could do was put some screws in it. I would like to get the same company that installed it out there to fix it up
Believe jesus and be saved
@@dirkhartman9572
such a kidder...😒
@dirkhartman9572 Nah, Jesus was a carpenter. They need a roofer. Whole different set of skills.
@@warehousejo007I agree......
Another fun video and I heard you say that phones are important out there. I agree but so are saws , ladders and safety harnesses among other things. As a long time Chesapeake boater I have learned to have two sets of tools one at home and the other on the boat and if you need four screws buy Six because you're probably going to drop two in the water while you're working. Take care and be safe
Great advice. We will try to follow it! Thanks
I was thinking the same thing! Buy a couple of plastic Craftsman tool boxes and stock them with your basic tools such as a hand saw, hack saw, hammers, crescent wrenches, tape measures, screw drivers, etc. And leave them at the Lighthouse, don’t bother taking them away each time. Btw, longer screw bits on your electric drill will be a lot safer. Best to have two of every tool because you will very likely drop a few tools over the side! Hopefully never you guys! Be safe!!
Thanks for documenting everything on this free to watch platform 🙂
Thank you for watching and subscribing. Let’s make CZcams pay for part of the restorations! 😊
@@thelighthousecenters I wish you the best on Patreon (and other cash apps) but also finding sponsors. The journey begins! [The editing is lit by the way]
When do you get a pressure washer? Would love to see some sanding. Oh boy
@@hotdogwaterdad8311 You should respond to them, now you are responding to me and I don't work with them ;-) Copy your question, delete your respond, answer them and paste your question.
Lighthouses have always fascinated me with their history and iconic images. Keep up the good work!
What you are doing is very significant, these historic, structures should be preserved. They represent a period in America when men went down to the sea in wooden ships that with out these lighthouses woul have been smashed on the rocky coasts. These lights also represented a beacon to let these ships know that a port was near ,and safety was within reach, also ships returning from abroad would know they were HOME. You are the modern lighthouse keepers bringing the past to life. Good luck .
I'm so glad that "Not bad though" is going to be a recurring audio clip.
It's too good lmao
Talk about a challenge! I dig this project but don’t think if I pitched the idea of “hey let’s restore a 120 year old structure that’s seen little maintenance. Did I mention is difficult to access, frequently exposed to severe weather and constantly exposed to corrosive spray…” that it would get green lit. Good luck guys! We will be rooting for you.
Never skimp on the slap counter😂 this fantastic editing keeps us coming back time after time. Simply perfection. Keep up the good work!
Some say to conserve the slap counter, others say apply slap counters liberally. We have hundreds of the world’s top researchers working night and day to discover the truth!
@@thelighthousecenters For mine if that slap counter came up this would probably have been my last time watching! Your production starts off so profesional ....its good enough for tv then the slap counter and other things i dont even find funny ruin the whole experiance imo
@@dave216dx sorry man! We are just a bit goofy I guess. It’s a serious mission, but we can’t help it. I grew up in a tough environment so we just found humor in things. Thanks for sticking around! What did you think of this video?
Honestly, you gotta do what you gotta do to make money for the lighthouses. Whatever gets you the most views and interaction to get the word out is what you should stick with. My husband and I love the "ask this old house" kind of informative content mixed with the meme editing. It is the perfect combination of information and entertainment. We get so excited to watch these videos ever since we saw the first Wolf Trap video. We can't wait to see the progress you make each video. You boys keep up the wonderful work.
The editing always gives me a laugh, the splashing sound of that tiny bird wing was just perfect
Those Chesapeake Bay birds are very dense 😉
Yes just the right amount of humor without being annoying!
Awesome project. Thanks for taking it on. And so many helpful comments! Here are three more pieces of insolicited advice:
1. No brainer - like others said get a multitool. There are excellent budget ones - check youtube reviews. Not only will it save when tools are left ashore or dropped in the drink, you'll avoid a bunch of trips up and down the lighthouse steps. 2. Science, place the exterior lights on the east and west sides and tilt the solar panels about 30 degrees to the south. They will perform much better in the winter, and if you leave them outdoors the rain and spray will run off and help keep them clean. Don't know that moving this style of light indoors would work. I take it you want them to shine onto the exterior as they point down not sideways. 3. Semi-educated guess. Birds are not going to see the clear film in the windows and try to fly into the lighthouse or will see their reflections and try to attack. Either way pointy beak impacts might lead to plastic failure. Perhaps a bit of spraypaint on the panels is in order to make them visible and kill reflections while still letting light in. If you need to temporarily replace the existing plastic, translucent plastic sheeting is very durable and probably better.
The handiest tool you can have is a clipboard, two titles: Things I forgot last time and stuff that I should take in addition, like zip ties, stainless steel bailing wire, safety harness, prybars, scrapers, small four leg ladders, platform ladders T--T, work gloves, sunblock, moisturizers, wire brushes (just to clean off areas around screws). dust pan and brooms, masks, extra glasses with floatation, kneeling pads. Pens and markers. I admire your work effort and courage if not your common sense You might think of setting up a tripod lift crane for safer loading and unloading. There is a kind of plumbing, hardens with water contact, tape wrap you could beef up those ladder rungs with.
Agrees, I was biting my nails when he was cutting with that knife so close to his leg, and especially when he was out on the edge of that roof
So excited to see this video pop up. Looking forward to watching this lighthouse get rebuilt. Love see old things get brought back to life so to speak. Peace ✌ and Love ❤.
Excellent video. A great start to a wonderful journey of rebuilding something incredibly historical and very unique.
What a great and interesting project. I love lighthouses. Good luck, I hope the weather is kind..😊
It’s not 😂 but that will make for some interesting videos too!
1am 🇬🇧 I’ve watched two videos in a row from a random recommendation algorithm . I’m hooked. Invested in lighthouses now! and the editing is brilliant. Very funny. Keep up the good work 🙌🏻
Subscribed!
Brits appreciate the humor! Another Starbucks for Thomas for mentioning the editing 😁 Thank you!
love the comment on this video! everyone is so kind, offering help and expertise... sadly i do not have 30 years of roofing experience or else to offer. but i love this project already, so excited for the process!
thanks for posting :)
I agree. This whole project is kind of restoring my faith in humanity. At a time when there is so much division in the world, there are so many positive people offering to help or already helping us. These lighthouses belong to everyone and (virtually) everyone wants to see them saved!
I think normal people and humanity are ok for the most part, but somehow people with poor characteristics seem to be running the show and have commandeered a lot of what we experience through the different medias, That is why I consciously try to expose myself to videos like the ones you guys are posting. We can all make the world a little better, perhaps one lighthouse and a time, but more importantly is the setting of an example that others can aspire to. Thanks.@@thelighthousecenters
That lighthouse could be a glorious place to stay ... the views will be unimaginably beautiful!!
Having spent 1& months on a light house in the gulf of Alaska, I think it would be a blast to restore them I left the light house in 1974 when the coast guard decommissioned it. Now it needs a lot of work.
When you were using the drill over the roof's edge, it was the scariest part of the video. Tie a 550 cord around the drill handle and loop it on the other end so you can attach it to your wrist. But Matt apparently has no fear. Other than that, keep up the excellent work. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Thanks. That’s good advice.
I think it’s pretty awesome what you are doing I’d love to do that. And just be able to hang out all comfortable after restoration in a good storm.
From the UK, I really must take my hat off to you guys, I'll follow you now and wish you all the best.
Cheers
Rob
Long time subscriber here LOL. Gotta love watching something interesting and getting an unexpected comedy show. Keep up the good work (and editing)!!!! Seriously though, love all of it.
Only a few weeks ago, I first came across your channel because of the first Wolf Trap video. I rewatched every video and discovered how interesting lighthouses actually are, especially these historic ones. I really like your concept and the style of the videos, I think it's perfect.
It must feel very special to work there, so the videos have a special vibe which I really enjoy.
I'm looking forward to the next videos!
Wishing you all the best

Welcome aboard! Thank you for the kind words. Yes we are honored to have this mission and we are thrilled to have your support from Deutschland!
You could use some help from a handyman, maybe I could help you sometime when I get to visit my brother
thats alot of lead paint guys mask are needed or you wont be breathing to good
Really I’m sure they never thought about that luckily they got you to save the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Way way blown out of proportion by government know nothings
@@davidmotter5140 Did you enjoy eating paint chips as a child?
@@davidmotter5140 lol good thing you're not one of them
Lead has little effect on your breathing. It causes neurological damage. You might be thinking of asbestos or silicates.
If you have excess plastic when fitting the first layer over opening, consider folding it back and rrpeeatingas a second layer (faux double glazing) so that if the first layer fails due to high winds, there is still another layer. Also, when working on internals... slightly warmer.
Claiming the "not bad though" energy as my new personality. This man is a glass half full kinda guy. I like it

On the cheapest window - put extra furring strips on both sides horizontally up 1ft, 2ft and 3ft - both sides so the strips can be screwed together to sandwich the middle area of the window and stiffen it! (35 years handyman in California wine country)
How much of that wine have you been drinking? Just kidding 😁 That’s a good idea!
The birds will have the vinal ripped in short order.
@@hartstudebakerkid It'll take a bit to do that. I think that that lovely 10mil stuff.
First rule of box cutters : Never cut towards your junk .
Aye Karumba!
"Cut towards your chum, not towards your thumb!" 😂
should probably use a DRIVER to run in screws instead of a drill in stiuations like at 14:20 they are gennerally shorter and better suited for the job you may also know them as a 1/4 inch hex Impact.
Need to find a way to put a wood stove in there for the cold periods. Would be awesome to be in during those times!
Always had a thing for lighthouses. My late husband and I got married at the Point Arena Lighthouse in Northern California.
Sorry for your loss. After we get the lighthouses renovated and a dock built with a boat lift, we intend to offer tours, host events and small weddings. Please follow to see it happen 😊
some tool tips from a small time garage hobby "carpenter" For screws and fasteners you should be using torx or robertson, anything else is basically useless for construction lol (it makes it a lot nicer, though you may be already doing that i cant tell)
As for tools, i would recommend getting some proper quality tools if you ever need to do a lot of work, a good set of tools make a hard job much easier to tackle IMO. Those craftsman might be good, no idea, i have no experience with them. Chances are they're a name brand reprint of an existing tool design which means they're probably fine.
Also if you want to drive screws into wood without suffering you should get an impact driver, they're pretty sweet. You might already know this stuff but i figure you'd be on top of it already if you did. A man is as functional as he is united with his tools after all.
Yes. We can’t wait to get set up out there with some nice tools. We have a good supply at Hooper Island now that we have been working there for a few months. Thanks!
thats good to hear, ironically that probably would've been my first order of business lol.
A lighthouse is certainly an interesting an novel environment to be working in though. I would not enjoy it. (unless it was land based) @@thelighthousecenters
You might want to consider wearing a harness and tether when working so close to the edge on the roof. Safety first.
I just envy the guys, saving lighthouses is now the best thing, our ancestors built them, poured their souls into them, and you are now restoring these lighthouses, doing the same thing!
Yes. You get it! Thanks 😊
Not bad though!
Seems like some ladder repairs are in order, since it's going to see a lot of use you want it to be as safe as can be!
Really looking forward to seeing the progress on this :)
Correct. a dodgy handrail or ladder is worse than no ladder at all
Excellent video, again! 👍
Installing cheap street lights was great idea, for now.
It will look cool, if later all lighthouse outside walls will be illuminated from roof and down.. 😉
What an incredible project it's going to be. Please let everyone interested, fallow your project from the beginning to the end, we would appreciate it immensely.
Thank you.
We are humbled by the fact that people want to watch us. We are working very hard to show everything in an entertaining way. Thank you for the encouragement!
You need a small crane to lift up supplies. When you start bringing a lot of building supplies, a good crane will come in handy. An aluminum one you can lift off and put inside would be good.
We are working on plans to build a jack up barge with a crane! Stay tuned 😊
Nerves of steel…😱 Good luck on your rescue… 17:14
We day sail in and around Mobjack/Pt Comfort and Wolf Trap 2-3 x week during warm weather. Very excited to see y’all taking on “our” lighthouse. Thank you!
Please say hello if you see us out there!
I like that we get to see the actual steps you are taking to restore this place, excited to follow along for the next few years :)
Please follow along. We are making huge strides behind the scenes. It may seem like a slow start but a year or two from now you are not going to believe what we have accomplished!
Love watching your work! Even if it feeds my fear of heights, especially on the roof :p
I tried not to look down 😅
Great update, thank you!
Love the videos, want to see this when it’s properly done up and finished.
More tools of all types might come in handy. Think I'd fix the safety rails pretty soon. I always fancied living in a lighthouse. As long as it was safe and watertight.
Whoever does the editing is great and funny.
Welp. Thomas just earned another Starbucks!
Sometimes it's just about stopping future damage. First thing I do when restoring a boat is get a cover for it. Stops future damage from rain, elements and such and also gives me a dry space to store things.
Absolutely love the total disregard for safety, tool management and general 'meh, whatever'. Takes me back to the good old days, bring to a tear to my eye. Anyway, keep up the cracking work.
lol I never thought about it. All of the lifetime watermen I have met don’t wear life jackets when working. They have them on the boat of course. And the career roofers I know don’t tie off when working on an almost flat roof. This stuff never occurred to me until we started putting out videos. We are sandblast and painters. We absolutely wear NIOSH approved masks and air fed helmets when blasting or painting, with or without lead paint, but not when walking through a building where no active work is going on. I am beginning to understand why these amazing and important historic structures were left to rot away and disappear. Regardless, I am loving this project and we can’t wait to show the progress we make saving 3 lighthouses this year! Thanks for the support!
They should make longer restoration shows and electric winch to lift stuff of boat
We will! This was literally our first day out on this lighthouse. Please follow!
Great job, looking forward to more of the restoration!
Thank you for the new lighthouse video
This is edited so well!
No slap counter, 0/10.
I wish I could quit my job to do something like this. Wonderful
Good start. Will be watching your progress with great interest. Remember the saw. 👍
We will, but will probably forget something else lol
@@thelighthousecenters That is always the way. The suggestion to keep a selection of tools out there seems like a good one!
First Amazon box to be in Wolf Trap Lighthouse? 😂
I cant wait to see what progress you get up to over the next few years! ☺️ My new favorite channel!
Thanks! BIG things are coming!
And so it begins...👍
Yes it does 😁 Let’s GOOOOOOO!!!
Every time I catch an episode I think of the guys playing Dayz and building a base haha. its awesome what you guys are doing seriously, GL fellas
lol it’s kind of like that 😂
And now I want a lighthouse ☹️. No idea why, or what for, but I want one and I want it now! I love Your videos, keep it up!
Come and visit us when we are done! Thanks 😊
Just discovered this channel a couple of weeks ago. Very interesting work and the humor and editing are truly entertaining. Definitely subbing from here in South Korea.
South Korea??? Amazing! We are honored. Thanks!
Awesome work, love to see the next stage 👍❤
Keep watching. We will are building a dock which will be installed in a few months 😀
I wish we had someone like y’all down hear in Mobile Bay, we have two lighthouses that as fair as I know are maintained by the Coast Guard. But I think they should be preserved because both of them played a big role in the history of our port. Can’t wait to see y’all’s work and keep up the good work!
Thank you! Maybe someday we will expand into other parts of the country but for now we are doing three lighthouses in the Chesapeake Bay and hopefully more 😊
Enjoying your videos…keep up the great work!
Really cool what you guys are doing! This would be a perfect base during a zombie apocalypse! BTW, may I recommend wearing a life jacket, especially while working on the boat/exterior of the lighthouse? Safety first!
Grow house, band practice, muffin kitchen, combo deluxe.
Maybe with a side of fishing .
Keep up the good work, Lighthouse Centers!
Found him from homedecorrenovation and so happy I found it!
Definitely get the railing and ladder repaired quickly safety comes first 😅😁
Invest in a Leatherman (other multi-tools are available) , keep it on your belt for when you don't have the right tool.
Oh dude cool! You guys actually posted a restoration series of the lighthouse after people asked for it. Hope you all are doing okay and having a nice day!
Loving the eccentric style and humor. Wish I lived closer I would love to volunteer to help.
The humor is a bit of a risk but we have to be ourselves and have fun while we are addressing a serious issue. Where do you live? Thank you for the comment 😊
The editing on these videos LITERALLY makes me laugh out loud. Especially the last one when yoh purchased this light house. *tap-tap*
I just died when the wing was thrown in as I pondered how high off the water he was and if I would hear a splash I could maybe determine the height only to hear that insanely loud splash 🤣🤣😭😭
Bravo. That comedy style made me subscribe!!!
My man had his ear up to the speaker with a stopwatch ready to run the physics equation when… SPLASH!!! 😲 😂
Pre-drill a hole before running in the screw, you won't have to fight so hard, just use a general "porpoise" 1/8 inch drill bit.
Hello from New Zealand ----THINK of your well being --- when on the roof a rope round waste or [harnest] Rope the sides off where it is missing -good first aid kit-- CUT proof gloves You only get one shot at life --You will have great time doing maintance USE tuff glass or perpex 6mm = 12mm tuff --fiberglass the roof
use a safety firlm to put over the windows if smashed they stay in tack
Good cadey welder good generator

You should put a mirror ball in place of the light up top and have some cheap lighting on it, it’d be something different.
Neat. I hope you've tested all the painted surfaces for lead. Lots of it (especially staircase) shows the telltale alligator patterning of failed lead paint I see all the time in old home restoration. edit: spelling
You guys need a barge you can tie up and have all of your stuff (workshop, tools, etc) permanently out there.
Alright I'm hooked. The editing is good and content is good. Not bad!
2 goods + 1 not bad = great! Thanks!
First gust of wind them lights are gone :) Cool project hope it goes well for you, looking forward to see the finished job.
I think they will last a while 😁Thanks for following!
Loving these videos ! The editing of them is hilarious , great work.
😁
Please invest in a quality harnace or two when you are working outside.
I used to own a panel like that it was 5 watts peak at best and used for trickle charging your car when parking it for a long time. It will not fill that battery in a month of perfect sun, it is made to resist "normal" self discharge over time no more. To be worth even bringing to the place you need at least a 100 watt panel and a solar charge controller, with that and a twilight relay you could put 4 (one in each main compass direction) 1-3 w led lights pointing out so they can be seen, not down. I would mount them inside the top glas dome to keep them safer from wind and sea. What you are doing is admirable and if I lived in the area I would do what little I could to help you (I live in Sweden), but you need to take it more serious than what I seen so far.
The plastic could as is withstand a light breeze may be, you want to make it a moderate wind then double the size of the wood and screws and mount a diagonal one on both sides crossing in the middle with a screw threw both at the center to support the vinyl better so you at least give it a fighting chans to still be there when you return. I may sound hasch but that is just because I want you to succeed in your effort, not waste them. /A
Life time Mathews here 😂 Been in there a time or ten back in the days. Looks pretty much the same inside all these years later. Except it was still lighted in my last adventure there!! If y’all ever need help finding things or glass for the windows gimme a shout. I know everybody 😂 and so do the guys at the marinas y’all use too! Or if ya need somebody to run a saw out there next time 🤘🏼
Can you set up an Amazon wish list so people watching could help by buying some of the needed supplies, tools, solar panels, lights etc??

Have pictures of this lighthouse from when I passed it on my trip from Annapolis to Florida this past October.
