    Labor of Love
    The Restoration of Graves Light
    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    LABOR OF LOVE charts the incredible decade-long journey to turn Graves Lighthouse into a vacation home in the middle of the ocean.

    SYNOPSIS
    Dave Waller has a knack for imagining, or rather re-imagining the historic, the old, the abandoned and bringing them vividly back to life. So when a rundown lighthouse off the coast of Boston Harbor goes up for public auction, Dave jumps at the chance to create the seaside hideaway of his dreams. Little did Dave know that this dream would lead him into an epic bidding war, a decade-long renovation and finally a heated legal battle to prevent the Town of Hull from unjustly seizing his home.
