Lighthouse gets a paint job |
 It's that time of year. As the sun comes out and the smell of barbecues fills the air, many people are reach-ing for the paintbrush to smarten up the front door or window frames.
For them, that simply means a step ladder, a few litres of undercoat and gloss and a couple of hours of toil.
