The ironworkers carefully guide the railing into place from the man lift |
The railing is aligned with the pre-drilled and tapped holes, caulked and bolted into place |
While railing is being installed above, an
electrician gets ready to pull conduit down the weight pocket |
|
|
|
| The conduit which will supply the light runs from the cellar to the upper landing within the weight pocket | A reporter from TV 9&10 interviews Emmet County Commissioner Tamlyn as preparations are made to lift the lantern | The lantern is hooked to the crane and begins its journey up to the gallery |
|
|
|
| The lantern arcs its way to the ironworkers waiting to guide it over the railing | Just a few more inches.... | The lantern is in place, and ready for caulking and to be bolted securely in place. |
|
|
|
| The ironworkers attach the heavy lantern chimney to the crane hook.. |
The crane eases the chimney up to the top of the lantern where it is bolted into place |
The vent ball is carefully lowered atop the installed chimney |
|
|
|
|
With the installation of the lightning rod atop the vent ball, installation of the lantern is complete. |
While work on the lantern was underway, trees were being cleared in front of the lighthouse... |
... opening-up a view of the lighthouse which
has not been seen in almost 100 years |
