Spent the last hour watching this:

What a tremendous feat involving all sorts of skilled areas of expertise. Watching them use a large plumb bob to verify the location of the center of the structure was sort of special.

More information on the lighthouse can be found here: https://www.gayheadlight.org/

An interesting video. Thank you.

First reaction as I watched that plumb bob swinging over the center point, they are off!

Then I thought about it; it is a LIGHT HOUSE!

Dead on; it is all relative.
