Wow, Jeremiah!
I am impressed! For your first castle building, this is quite good. Heck,
this is good for someone's 50th castle building. It is small but that makes
for a good challange. You really fit everything needed in that little
space. Quite an interesting guy, this Bowman Fields. At first glance I was
a little disappointed because I didn't see the stairway and I thought,"He
can't get from one floor to the other." But then I saw how you built it it
into the hinged area. Really nice! I wasn't expecting that. You surprised
me! Keep up the good building,
Josh
