Many renovations were done in 2010/2011 to preserve the integrity of the structure. The last project, which is very coastly, is the painting. It is last because it is for aesthetics and not for the actual preservation of the building. It should be painted within the year is what I last heard. The lighthouse tours, grants, and fundraisers along with the tours are providing the funds for the lighthouse repairs and painting.
