When your lip swells up so you can't see past it because of the wasp sting, having a lighthouse is probably the bees knees.

I just hope it doesn't keep the turtles up.

Oh...they're good with it...prob hoping it helps keep that pesky raccoon from visiting every night. Sandy coon prints on the ledge every morning.
He's prob after the fish.

^^^ Looks similar!
Michigan has 129 different lighthouses on it's coastline with the Great Lakes. Almost all of them are still active.
MI has over 3000 miles of coastline.

What is the point of this thing and why don't you have gnomes protecting it?

If you look at the first pic closely...you'll see an albino turtle in front of the 'shrooms.
He is the protection.

For as much as you paid for this one I would have expected the beacon to rotate.

This one is made of metal and resin.....instead of wood.
No paint fading or wood rot.

A diff rotating light will only be about $60

I think this one would do the job...it should fit in to the top.
