This lighthouse is a combination wellhouse and garden shed. It was build on Quadra Island, British Columbia and replicates a local lighthouse at Cape Mudge. The lights come on with motion detectors and act as a yard light. The shed is insulated under the slab with R-tech foam, and framed with pressure treated 2×4 with R-14 rockwool insulation and R-Tech foam on the interior walls and ceiling, and finished with birch ply g1s. The building is 6-sided and measures 10 ft across. The exterior is sheeted with pressure treated ply and finished with cedar shingles.
