Raising of the tower

So, we have continued to work on details of castle, inside and out, the past year and I apologize for my tardiness in blogging, but life happens. However, I couldn;t let this go by without sharing. So, Andy designed the tower and Brian built it on the ground in front of the castle as seen here.
this is a view from inside looking up the spiral stair already assembled in the tower. 
This is a view of the roof where the tower will be placed

                                        this is view on castle top before tower gets places.

Auburn Crane Arrives right on time 

                                                  and the tower is up in about 30 minutes!
                                            Here is my stop motion video from the ground:
and the stop motion video from the princess turret

                                                                   and here is the drone video

we also painted alot of things black
we trimmed the grass on the front entrance with quite the precision
