Isn’t that where Hillary lives? She sleeps in her coffin in the basement?

Challenges of Castle Ownership

Some people do have to worry. Ya can get castles pretty cheap[Europe]. Cheap is always subjective.

... rock don't burn!!

"... 22-room stone-built mansion." Unless it was a misprint, and they meant the contractor was named Stone.

BTW, didn't QEII suffer a devastating loss in one of her rock/stone castles a decade or so ago?

From Les Visiteurs:

"Jacquasse, look how they changed our beautiful castle!"

"Windows galore! We're defenseless!"

"A godsend for the Visigoths."

"And the Huttes."

"Pray that the dungeon is intact!"

1992 Windsor castle burned.

True, rocks do not burn, but what is inside does

I’d call that a strategic defensive position.

Not a good place to live if you are a sleepwalker.

To be honest, I miss the old fashioned designs for homes; a castle style home would be better than the cookie cutter McMansions.
