Curious ,, Are you looking to buy a lighthouse?
I'm on the GSA's notification list.....but yes, I would like to have one. Right before I bought this house I threw bid on this one but started thinking about it and decided against bidding further. This one is 2 nm out into the Bay. It's the front range to the rear you can see behind it (Craighill Channel).
Interesting. I boat on inland lakes and rivers and had no idea private parties bought and vacation or possibly even live in lighthouses.
Oh yeah. Years ago, but especially after the NHLPA was passed in 2000. As they become surplus to the gov't, they try to find other federal or state agencies to preserve them, then non-profits, museums, etc then if no one wants it GSA puts it up for sale for anyone to buy who has the $$. In some cases USCG retains access right-of-way to the light itself that may still be active ATON (like Barnegat, Cape May, Cape Hatteras, etc). There are some in private hands, some that are museums, some that are B&B's. You're a bit removed from it, but there's one right on the Schuykill river in Boathouse Row. Turtle Rock Light. Last time I saw it a few years ago it looked like this:
. Have seen the lighthouses on the Jersey shore, have not been there in years.
they explode if you hit them square with the tire..... they also run out in front of your tire
Oh , so they dont have a great sense of smell then
Apparently they taste ok .
He took 1 whiff and ran to the woods...
maybe wash your feet?....just sayin
failed heat treatment on the worm allowed the teeth to deform and wipe out the teeth on the wheel. Additionally, centrifugal cast C91700 was spec'd and the vendor used sand-cast C91700 which is about 60% the strength. so the worm wheel failed sooner than it should.
Not sure there is one. im currently using a thixotropic extreme pressure gearbox lubricant. the one I selected 3 years ago is still the best for the application based on testing.
