Always wished I had a great fortune to completely restore a castle to its original state.

Wonder how much money it would take.

A related fantasy is to magically restore great structures like the Coliseum.

I have never been to Italy but there is a Roman coliseum in the south of France, Arles maybe, that is still in use. It looked pretty original from what I could see.

Pretty amazing really when you consider that Houston has already torn down the Astrodome.

Tell the government you’re going to build solar panels in the castle.

On another note I will be there in July for a couple months.

I have, for many years, thought that I'd love to do that. Unfortunately ruined castles don't come on the market very often, even for those with millions to spare. Most of them are owned by trusts (National Trust for Scotland, Historic Scotland, etc).

I've wanted to do this to Castle Gloom (a.k.a. Castle Campbell).
