I already posted a little tidbit on this project in the "Marine biologist..." thread. And Brettski suggested I post more here for you human habitat nutz.
Well, the "little" structure is on a new, 1 acre excavated fish pond in northeastern North Carolina (i.e., flatland). The lighthouse is a 1/2 scale replica of the Roanoke River lighthouse located (historically) off Black Walnut point in Albemarle Sound. Now the replica is located off "pond" point. Features include a real light house tower to climb in, a draw bridge to keep out the creeps and critters, and a bay to park your paddleboat underneath. It was my folks idea to build the house, and they hang out there alot. My contribution was setting up the pond ecosystem.
It's been exciting to see an this one-time "air castle" come to fruition. Hope yall enjoy the pics.
