A mere technicality.

How many and what size Crocs do you need? As a landscape designer I can get anything. Crocs? No problem.

I've got some land just outside of Dallas that I was thinking about building a house on for when we visit the relatives. This could be really cool!

Thanks for the link, I've always fancied living in a castle, I love the idea. I saw some great castles in Scotland that inspired me.

I'm not mad about the stone they've used in the examples, but it's a case of what's available I guess.

We have a modern-built castle an hour from here, but it's in a bad location and they whitewashed it, which doesn't look too good.

Those walls don't look very thick. When I was a stonemason in France we built walls twice that thick, and with undressed stone. We worked the traditional way, with lime mortar, and building the scaffolding into the wall as we went up. While I never worked on any castles, I did work on a house that was built in around 1200 A.D. I'd love to build my own house out of stone some day, but I'm definitely not at that point yet in my life - I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up (I'm 30 now).
