aister Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 now that the viking longhouse is nearly done we have been taken off it so that the other squad of boys can finish the inside which is a shame as i would have liked to have worked on it right to the end. then again i cant grumble as we have been put to sumburgh head light house which is only 10 minutes from my house instead of two and a half hours to the long house and its a stunning place to work (on a nice day). the job is the restoration of the light house buildings which is a massive job compaired to anthing else i have worked on. the winter weather is something i am not looking forward to though, its 91 meters above sea level and a tad exposed which light houses tend to be. heres a couple of photos, the first one is not mine but the other two is ones i took off the roofs we were stripping.
