The Castle
Not Energy-Star Anything!!!!
Ok, here's the mansion! Not exactly house beautiful is it!?
This house is old and crooked in every aspect.
Minus 40 degree Winter freezing will pop nails and make any house groan.
Then the spring thaw will heave the ground and moves things even more!
I swear this house will move around 15 feet either way every spring!
With all of its faults short of the ultimate Energy Star Home, this
built before electricity house can be retrofitted to an off grid set
that will work superbly!
