Inching Our Way There
I have heard through the grapevine that the Selectmen may choose be voting to award a contract on Tuesday night. The bids needed to be submitted by February 23rd and I am told there were not many submitted. Should the Selectmen choose, they could go back out to the National Register and ask for new…

Four Down
There are currently four cameras not working. The Seawall, Inside, Lantern Room, and Inner Harbor cameras are not available through the Stahr Family page links. I am working on fixing them. I have a ways to go. The others are all live and I hope you continue to enjoy them. Update: 2/10/2023 It seems like…

Brrrrrrrrrr
Got super cold yesterday and the old place held up just fine. Some of the summer work to tighten things up seemed to help the cause. The electric bill has gone through the sky (all the way to Mars) but the oil bill has been manageable. The quiet that comes with the cold is the…

Three Weeks In
The new year is off and more has gone right than has gone wrong. The old Lantern Room has not been pushed by a storm surge. I am told the bid package for the next one is near to being complete. The weather has been forgiving (meaning the oil bill has not been catastrophic) and…

Update on Web Cams
I think, I think, that all but one of the cameras are online. The Inside the Tower camera remains down for reasons unknown. All the rest should be up and running. Continue to enjoy them and keep on coming back for sunrises, sunsets and wavy days.

Wrapping up a Busy Year
To say the year has been full would be to understate the story like a mumble in a hurricane. There has been a ton going on and most of it has been told here. One of the stories followed all year long was of the deterioration of the North Jetty. A storm this past week…

A Month Later
Today’s project, (really the last two glorious, warm November days) was the boardwalk. It is in the yard and stacked for the winter. I rolled it up in record time even with a lot of conversation yesterday from visitors. The forearms take a beating on the two wheeler but the legs seem good. I got…

Thursday Morning in a Hurry
Here is the promised timelapse video of the project as it unfolded on Thursday morning. All the hard work is obvious.

Taking off the Top
This is an easy one to write. The pictures tell most of the story. On Thursday October 6, 2022 the lantern room placed at the top of Scituate Light in 1930 by the Town of Scituate in order to demonstrate the town’s commitment to the care of its public buildings was removed. Time and weather…
