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.

patiently waiting to hook up the crane to the tower top

Here is my stop motion video from the ground:

and here is the drone video

one proud king that everything went as planned without any problems.

I so enjoy watching the progress on the property. I worked at the TLHS until I retired in 1985. Well remember Ed and his love of castles...I enjoy the view from the castle top, those Mountains are mine(well in theory) if you were to go out and make a left on Dugal Road you would see Madore Farm Road..The original farm was our home. It is a long ways from our Florida home but I must confess I have occasionally copped a view you posted for my cover photo. It so reminds me of early morning views from my bedroom window at the farm or from my walks to the back of the property on sunny afternoons. Thanks for all the beautiful memories you have given me. Enjoy your castle, Ed Leary would be in seventy heaven enjoying a visit and telling a tale or two.
