Lighthouse Inspection

The Easton Lighthouse - Big Manly
As some of you maybe aware I have other hobbies besides sailing and being a racer chaser, one of these is visiting lighthouses. This eventually led to me having my own personal one built at the family bach. Unfortunately time and money are a bit of a constraint on finishing. I thought it probably best to check on its condition on the way back to home base.

Lighthouse specs:
7.8m tall when stacked up
10m^2 foot print
200 LED microprocessor controlled multi-colour light (40W maximum power)
Vintage ex-naval fog horn
Copper 0.5m tall rooster shaped weathercock (wind vane for the PC )
12 Volt power system with smart charging from solar panels

Any recommendations on a good concrete layer for pouring the foundation greatly appreciated.
