In Response To: Other: Lighthouses for sale- too cool (Malcolm Schweizer)

: It has been a longtime dream of mine to live in a lighthouse. I
: even have rough plans drawn up for my next house (read:
: "pipe dream") that will have a lighthouse with the top
: being a master bedroom with glass all around. Imagine my
: surprise when I saw on the GSA Auction site
: http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/aucalsrh/ If you click on
: Real Estate, there are a number of lighthouses up for sale, with
: prices ranging from $10,000 to $60,000 current bids. Some are
: land-based, some offshore, including one that's just a light
: sticking out of the water that would be a cool place to kayak
: to, hang out away from all the noise and... wait... NOISE. AHA!
: Read the fine print that says these lights remain active and
: contain a very powerful foghorn. So during clear days I guess it
: would be great, but on foggy days every 15 seconds-
: BRRRROOOOOOOMMMMMPPPPPPP!!!!

: So I guess that explains the low bids. Anyway, if you ever wanted
: to own a lighthouse now would be the time to get one cheap.
