The cameras will be back next week to film the latest progress in renovating a St. George?s home owned by former MP Delaey Robinson for the ?This Old House? series, to be aired next month.

The crew was here last month to film the beginning of work on the circa-1805 Georgian style-home home.

The cameras also visited Gibb?s Hill Lighthouse and a quarry. The team from ?This Old House? are due back on January 12 for two days.

Show spokeswoman Leah Orfanos said: ?Gibb?s Hill is important. It?s one of the oldest cast iron lighthouses in the world.?

The Bermuda projects will be featured in eight new episodes of the ?This Old House? show?s winter project, premiering in prime time on PBS on February 12.

Other side stories in the series include visits to a living reef, military forts, shipwreck sites and St. Peter?s ? the oldest Anglican Church in the New World.

Ms Orfanos said Mr. Robinson was funding the $600,000 renovation himself although some contractors involved were offering discounts.

The project will renovate Harbour View, Mr. Robinson?s former bachelor pad, situated across from Aunt Nea?s Inn to allow more living space for his family of four.

Local architect Colin Campbell and general contractor Alan Burland, with help from ?This Old House? host Kevin O?Connor, master carpenter Norm Abram, general contractor Tom Silva, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey and landscape contractor Roger Cook will carry out the work.

The project has raised some concern in environmental circles.

Charles Tatem, chairman of the National Trust?s historic buildings committee and a member of the St. George?s Preservation Society, said the project would involve joining a two storey and one storey building together and adding a second storey to the latter, which would fill in the area to its boundary.

He said: ?It?s not what I would do.?

However he said this was not uncommon in St. George?s and he said the building wasn?t particularly historic.
