Leonard, Thanks for the compliments!  I'm glad you enjoyed the castle.
Thanks for posting, I appreciate the encouragement.  I totally agree that if
Lego would put out some new castle sets that were quality Items, I would be
broke too!  (well maybe not, I could probably concentrate on getting all of
my pieces through the castle theme instead of buying alot of sets to get a
handful of parts!   Jon
