Edit: I can’t tell you how touched and motivated we are by all of the positive and supportive comments on a video about a toilet 😅 Thank you all!!!❤❤❤
Hello Friends! If you like what we are doing please like, subscribe, comment and share or even donate here with the THANKS button😊 We are working very hard behind the scenes to build barges, docks, and get better boats, equipment and hire more people so we can share more videos of the work we are doing and eventually bring people safely out to visit all 3 of our lighthouses! This project is VERY expensive, so please hit the THANKS button here or visit our website thelighthousecenters.org and donate if you can. Your support is greatly appreciated! ❤
Super fancy intro shouting "WE ARE THE LIGHTHOUSE CENTERS"....followed by some dudes stumbling from one OSHA violation to the next
Greetings from Sweden! 🇸🇪 This is such an interesting project to follow, and as a bit of sanitation nerd I especially appreciate that you took time to explain your choice of sanitation system and how it will work. I only have experience of sanitation systems in land, and I was wondering why you do not choose to separate black and grey waste water, but I guess that both your budget and the structure of the existing system in the light house limit your choices?
I love the tempo and the way you edit your videos. To add interesting facts in writing during the time lapse is such an excellent idea! And that you integrated info about your sponsor as a part of the video, instead of showing a separate add from them, increased the overall experience.
I've been longing for this video and I'm already longing for the next one! 🛁
it is not better use salt water to dump the kraken into sea?
Could you include a link in the description to your sponsor, Raritan? They would appreciate it too.
There is a lighthouse for sale in New Bedford, Massachusetts
The addition of the pop-up trivia is a nice touch.
It’s a great way to answer some of the questions we are often asked. We are glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 😊
The Q&A segment was a real innovation and I loved it. I learned something while enjoying the montage. Great idea!
@@thelighthousecenters is the goal once the lighthouse is all fixed up is to spend the night out there if it is possible?
I'm glad sponsors are coming forward to help.
My daughter has been waiting for months to watch a new video from your channel and she says “I loved it.” Your restoration project is toddler-approved.
This makes my day! I hope she grows up with a love of nature and a passion for preservation. Maybe someday she can visit one of our lighthouses? 😊
I agree. This channel is awesome!
Living on a lighthouse has always been a dream for me. Will it ever come to fruition? No, but I am thoroughly enjoying watching you save these wonderful places. The stories they could tell would be amazing. Thank you for taking us along on this revival of such a beautiful maritime structure.
You might not live on a lighthouse but maybe some day you can visit ours or stay overnight? Thanks for the support!
I love the trivia portion over the time-lapse portion of the video. Great Stuff!
Time-Lapse Trivia TM 😁 We think it turned out well and it’s a great way to answer some of the questions we are often asked. I don’t know what the Iliad has to do with us tho 😂
I was literally thinking to myself yesterday, "I wonder what happened with that cool US lighthouse channel?". Then bam. New video while I'm having breakfast this morning. Love the dedication and work!
You will see what we have been up to. We will be building a jack-up work barge and then the restoration will accelerate! The weather is good, we are getting sponsors and working on funding. There will be lots of videos this year. Thank you for the support!
Right!
My only complaint about this channel is that there aren't enough videos. I binge watched all of them. Very interesting! Glad to see these historic lighthouses saved and restored!
We will put out a lot more this year. It is very expensive to do what we are doing and even more expensive to have a camera guy there and then all of the editing. If you like the channel please support us with a super thanks. There is zero profit in what we are doing. The more funding we can come up with, the more we will get done and the more videos we will post. Thanks!
Now THAT is a valuable sponsor to have!!
Nothing like proper sanitation to make you feel human.
Love what yer doin, keep up the good work.
A fan from the beginning . Rock on ! : )
With Thomas writing music for us we are literally rocking on! 😂 Thanks for the support from the beginning! ❤️
I am so happy I stumbled onto this channel,its a new favorite,I waite for every new episode ! Thanks for sharing your journey !
Welcome aboard! ❤️
I agree! Same.
Another great video! I was just wondering how all the plumbing works. Even cooler how you were able to understand the assembly of the toilet from the plant manager. Congratulations on getting a sponsor. Well done. Looking forward to your next upload.
Been liking ( and subscribed) for a while now .... just wish the videos were a little bit longer ... was just getting into this one !! 😢
Keep up the great work guys
Thanks! We will have longer ones coming soon. What’s up with your username? Nutter? You know Nutterbutter is the unofficial snack of The Lighhouse Centers. We made a short about them and we tried to get them to sponsor us 😂
Sadly I live in the UK so I've never heard of them before but I'll definitely have a watch of that short
" Nutter " has been my nickname for years ( in a good way ) I'm cheeky rude ( in a sarcastic way) and crude in some of my conversations
I'm a HUGE Tasmanian devil fan and often referred my self as " nutty as a fruit cake ... but only half as as chewy " 😁🙃🤪
Guess it's a British thing .. and it runs in the family so I guess I screwed lol
Looking forward to the longer vids guys !!
Glad to see you back at it and you’re all keeping well too.
Once that’s in, what’s next I wonder? Floors, metalwork, walls?
It’s exciting. This place deserves the attention.
(Edit) Both lighthouses do.
Well done 🕊🇬🇧
I'm loving every bit of these videos keep up the good work
❤️❤️❤️
Happy to see you again! Once the rooms are cleaned out, it looks so much better ...
I'm being honest, this toilet is amazing. Can't wait to see it installed, and I'm happy to see you got your first sponsor.
I like those information boxes and I highly appreciate you have even converted feet into meters!
One thing I recognized while watching you pulling up the toilet: Have you thought of putting a small crane up there so it would be much easier to haul heavy stuff around?
And what about the 3rd lighthouse?
I am definitely excited for that!
I have always had a fascination with lighthouses and for you to come along and start restoring lighthouses is just great. I look forward to your progress. 😊
Just stumbled across this channel a few days ago! Absolutely amazing!
Thanks 😍
I watch a lot of youtube - this is the first video ever where the sponsor segment isn't annoying. Good luck!!
That’s quite a compliment. Thanks!
I'm glad to hear you're planning a half bath with a second toilet. It's a critical piece of equipment and having a spare throne is paramount!
These videos are so cool! Very happy that I happened upon this channel 😊. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you! Welcome aboard 😁
As someone from the UK, where most if not all of our lighthouses are located on the coast, on cliffs or rock, it is strange to see yours right in the middle of the water. Gotta say I love it though - lighthouses are just so cool
Look forward to each new episode, thanks
Yes, I can't wait to see more!
Great video, thank you so much .
I was so excited to see an update! Keep them coming please. It is great to see the restoration of these historic buildings!
Thank you for the support. More is coming on a variety of topics 😊
Thanks Raritan! and thanks TLC!
We are in negotiations with a boat manufacturer 😁 Our sponsors are the best! 😍
I think it's really neat watching you all restore different parts of the lighthouse. I look forward to every video.
To the editor(s), keep tossing those "light jabs" (pun intended) in the videos 😂
Please don’t encourage him 😂 -Rich
(seriously though, I don’t mind the LIGHT jabs if it means we get these lighthouses restored 😁)
The editing is superb. 😀Great to see new content and you are moving forward.
We love the comment about editing but now we have to buy a Starbucks for Thomas 🤣
Jeez, that’s a harsh punishment for his good work 😉
@@markmelb5732 😂
Started watching you as a suggestion on here. I'm not even a fan of going to the beach. I do love history so this fits perfectly. Thank you for taking care and updating these places.
Well there are no beaches out at our lighthouses 😁 also what’s up with the Yugo? Do they still make them? 😊
@thelighthousecenters The parent company Zastava stopped making vehicles in 2017. The model that was sold as the Yugo in the U.S. was in production until 2008! The Yugo was pulled from the U.S. market in 1992. It's a shame because the drivetrain and all suspension are Fiat!
I know you will enjoy those bathroom appliances ❤
You have no idea 😂
I've never donated money before but had to spare a few bucks for TLC, i never knew Lighthouse restorations could be so cool to watch, i wish Australia had more lighthouses like these
Thank you!!! ❤️ Wait until you see the amazing barges and docks we are building. They are going to be INDESTRUCTIBLE! Thanks for supporting us from down under 😊
@@thelighthousecenters Can't wait thanks for the great videos
I loved hearing about the salt-water black water treatment!
Glad to hear from you again. Like the idea of a fully self-sufficient place.
I love this. Certainly is different! It's got me hooked!
Very cool to see how solid the floors look after a cleanup. Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks Raritan! If enthusiasm and interest on the good old internet will help your projects, I’m all in! Wish could smash the like button a dozen times for you!
We need to figure out how to add a Like Button Smash Counter 😂
Love this channel! Can't wait to see how it looks when finished! In the meantime I'll enjoy this interesting journey til then!That's what it's ALL about! Not the rush to the finish line,but the experiences along the way....Great job guys!👍
Awesome time lapses, I love seeing things getting cleaned up! Hope the next episode comes soon!
Glad to see you back. Got a kick out of Time Lapse Trivia.😅
Glad you enjoyed it. We will have to bring it back 😁
Yaaay i`ve missed you guys.
We missed you too! Sorry we didn’t post for a bit, but things are about to get crazy on this channel! Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you for providing these videos with all the information!
Good work gentlemens!!
Glad to see it coming along. Big respect to guys that go out and achieve things through hard work and passion!
I like the text questions and answers. Nice idea❤
Glad you liked it. We said “we need something to make the time lapse work more engaging” and Time Lapse Trivia was born! Thanks for following 😁
It's gonna be a beautiful lighthouse monument that actually still serves -wonderful!!!
Really fascinated with your project; keep up the good work and the best of luck to all of you :)
For water pumping, I have built a sub $100 solar that runs years without maintenance and pumps more than a ton of water a day up 18 meters. The pump is from an RO water filter ($20). There's a float switch in the water tank. Solar panel(s), and an overpressure switch, also from an RO filter. To scale it, add another pump.
Nice work and very interesting video. Keep it up.
Glad you have your priorities straight😂❤
Love what yall are doing
Great work!
I hope you will preserve and restore the old interior that was there and not completely modernise it. I often see people who buy old buildings and they sadly remove all the historic interior and replace it with a modern one. Hopefully that isnt the case but anyway good luck.
Amazing hard work putting these structures back to how they once were. Congratulations.
Everything is more difficult out there but it helps when we get supportive comments like yours. Thanks!
Staying in the lighthouse would be the ultimate air bnb experience
Keep following. We will be hosting events and offering overnight stays!
Nice vidéo, but too short I think. Great job (from France)
Noted. Thank you for watching from 🇫🇷! 😁
This is so great to follow.
Thanks for using metric too!
Regards from The Netherlands 🇳🇱.
That was for you my friend! 😂 thank you for watching from the Netherlands! 😍
Metric! 😖😖😖😖
Awful way to do anything.
Looks great fellas❤ Me an my company been working on the Sandy Point Lighthouse lately. We did the complete roof, reframed it an added a metal roof. Replaced the 4 top windows (We made the windows by hand) Finished up all the trim/ an hardy board an facia. So cool working on the Chesapeake bay an seeing the crab an fisherman. Keep up the great work
Sandy Point looks great too! ❤️ Can you send an email to info@thelighthousecenters.org ? I would like to talk with you. Thanks!
12:08 as someone that's 6'3" toilet height is definitely something I feel! Place I work right now all the toilets are so low to the ground it feels like my knees are above my ears....like who are all the midgets these things are being built for?! Anyway, congrats on a sponsor, you guys deserve it for the great work you're doing!
That was the most entertaining and educational time lapse I've ever watched. Great job!! 👍 Question: Since you are out on the water, would the toilet be called a Head, or is that just on boats? RIP Seagull
Yes, let’s pour one out for the gull 😢 I really don’t know but I would think it’s just for boats because technically we are a house. Why is it called a “head” anyway? 🤔
@@thelighthousecenters Good question! I've never understood why.
This is really cool. You're living one of my dreams! (owning your own lighthouse, not installing a toilet). I'll be following along with the progress.
LOL! When I was a kid I read a book called The Great Brain. It was set in the 1800s and this kid’s family was the first in the town to install a “water closet.” People came from all around to see it. So I guess installing a toilet can be a real dream, if you don’t have one 😂 Thanks for following!
Looking forward to the final restoration. Glad your channel showed up on my home page.
I've been waiting for an update about this project. Thanks for the video, guys.
If I was rich I would gladly find a project like this, provided I get to stay there whenever I wanted.
Maybe you can stay at one of our lighthouses some day? Thanks for watching ❤️
You had me at "poop blender" tbh.
LOL I’m wondering why Thomas chose a strawberry milkshake for the graphic tho 💀
Fascinating to watch the progress being made.
This has become my favorite channel to watch. I love the little lighthouse factoids that popped up. My wife and I are fascinated with lighthouses, and it’s so cool what you are doing. I hope one day to visit and see the work you are doing! Keep it up!
Thank you! Please keep following because when the lighthouses are safe to bring people on, will be hosting events and tours. We can’t wait to bring our supporters out there, especially those who donated here with the thanks button or at our website 😁 Encouraging comments like yours mean more that you know!
Keep up the progress !! Looking good !!
We are working our butts off behind the scenes. We can’t wait to show you what we are doing! Thanks!
Awesome !! 👍@@thelighthousecenters
Love this channel and cant wait to see how things progress.
I think the algo found me after watching "Renovating an abandoned mansion" and now "renovating an abandoned resort" on Demo Ranch.
Thank you! Welcome aboard! 😁
Again, amazing work and great progress. That plumbing work really took a whole lotta time huh. Really excited to see the mid way results and ending. Been an amazing journey so far viewing you guys work all the way from Singapore! Wishing the best for all parties involved
Wow! Thanks for following from Singapore! ❤️
I look forward to your videos. Appreciate your dedication to preserving windows on the past.
Somebody get that boy a belt! 😂😂😂😂😂nice drawers❤
I stumbled upon this channel! I love restoration programs. Especially of historical places! Keep up the good fight!
Thanks! Big things are coming this year!
Thanks for the update folks!
We are going to updating more frequently now. Thanks!
Happy to be part of this wonderful project.
😊
Awesome video as always! So eager to see the progress everytime a new video is dropped. And thanks for calculating the water depth to meters aswell, was just about to bring out the calculator :) Cheers from Finland!
Thank you for following from Finland! I just looked at the statistics and about 40% of our audience is from outside of the US, which is amazing! 🤩 We will keep including the metric equivalents 😊
This is fascinating to me. I have often wondered what kind of foundation they built that upon and how they went about engineering that. I’m looking forward to more episodes. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Liked it and most of the comments. Some people can be rude tho. Hopefully, they don't get you down. Keep up the good work preserving our nation's maritime history. I am a subscriber who will watch and like every video and will donate as well.
In the beginning some of the negative comments bothered me and then I realized that there will always be a few trolls no matter what you do. We are saving lighthouses! And yet there are some people telling us to stop trying lol! Like your comment, most are overwhelmingly positive and that motivates us to keep going. We are just normal people with jobs and bills and families, giving everything we can to this project because we know it is a worthwhile thing to do. Thank you for the support! It means more than you know.
I am so excited to see you have sponsors ! That is the best news 🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰.
I am watching everyone of your videos and loving it ❤.
Keep up the funny editing it's the best Thomas !
Great work everyone involved , kudos 🙏
Thank you for the comment! Except you mentioned Thomas’ editing so now we have to buy him a Starbucks coffee. We wait until he is away from the door and then we open it, carefully place the tray of coffee on the floor and lock him in editing room again.
I'm really hoping we get to see you guys ride out at least one wicked storm there.
That’s coming! We just installed security cameras so we will see what it’s like out there all the time. Stay tuned!
Thanks! This isn't much but will now feel I'm at least invested one brick's worth ! 😅 So nice to have an update from time to time ! Continue to stay safe !
Thank you for supporting! The restoration of these lighthouses is so expensive. We have regular jobs and are trying to make all this work so your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the metric conversion!!
No problem. We have realized that a good percentage of our followers are from other parts of the world 😁 Where are you from?
Thank you
Great work!!!
Love what you guys are doing!
❤️
Thank you for what you are doing !
Thank you for supporting us! Big things are happening behind the scenes that we will be sharing soon. We added a thanks button so people can donate 😉😊
Best ad ever. I was wondering how you'd pull that off and I wish I someday have an application for the same.
Totally amazing!! Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it! We are working on more 😊
Keep it up, Fellas! 👏👏👏
I'm new to this channel but love it so far, keep up the good work guys ! 🙂
Welcome aboard! 😁
would love to see some longer form videos!
We hear this a lot and consider it a great compliment. We are working on a video podcast where we can really get into detail about the project and other things. Thanks!
Excellently done what with so many neat facts about LH
The first thing you need is a good winch system mounted your going to need lots of stuff! 😂😂
damn straight you put it in anyway! loved the tidbits during the montage. course, i love the channel so i'm not surprised when you keep kicking ass. thank you!
Our editor is out of control! He locks us out of the studio and publishes content without executive approval! 😂
@@thelighthousecenters sounds like my drummer -- we'll go back to the studio and all of a sudden he's like "guys, check out where i put the empty acetylene tank hit, and then this is some heavy duty chain me and the engineer ran across the floor"
grew up on the delaware, i've lived in alaska for over a decade though so do me a favor -- have a yuengling for me. keep up the great work lads, and fix the lock on the studio door! :-D
It's 3AM, and I stumbled over your videos. So excited by what you will accomplish!
Would love more videos like more than once a month
I hear ya! We are getting away from our regular jobs to do this full time this summer and then we will post a lot more. We are also negotiating a reality show and if that happens it will be great because we wont have to do any editing 😁 fingers crossed 🤞
Great edit
This is really cool! Good job!
Thanks!
Stumble across your video on TikTok (an account was describing your progress of the lighthouse) so I checked you out here on RUclips and my first video I seen was you giving out the first tour of the lighthouse. I’ve noticed you were wearing a Buc-ee’s hat and I had to subscribe! 😂🤷🏽♂️(bring back the Buc-ee’s hat lol)
Awesome lighthouse ya got.
We are restoring three of them now and they are all equally amazing. Thanks!
someone need to help you restore this and we need a complete series
We are working on it. Thanks!
I wish i could live here!. It's perhaps the most peaceful place on earth!
It really is! Maybe you can visit someday!😊
