1-1-2010 This is what the castle looks like at the beginning of 2010. We've had more than the usual amount of snow so far this winter. It's also colder than usual. The snow is pretty, but it's a lot of trouble removing it from our half mile long driveway.

1-9-2010 We now have our first suit of armor. Not sure what to call him yet, perhaps Sir E-bay.

1-20-2010 The queens chamber tower is now almost completely finished. The queen will be able to sit in her rocking chair and read as she likes to do in the afternoon.

1-20-2010 The work in the entrance tower is coming along. I still have not decided whether to install a hardwood or vinyl floor. I've been looking at samples of both.

1-28-2010 There are still some places in the castle that do not have the drywall installed. This is half of the hallway on the kings level (third floor). I guess I'd better get to it.

1-31-2010 The drywall is now up in this area and I have finished putting up the drywall tape. A little drywall sure makes a difference in how a space looks. I still need to put up another coat of mud, do the sanding and put on a coat of primer. The near door on the right goes to the computer room, and the door at the end of the hall goes to the Duke's Suite.

More Photos will be added as time permits.
