Rickman Castle Plans

A current photo of our home, and one made when we purchased it in 1997.

Why did we decide to build around and add to a house, instead of building new? Building new from ground up was our first intention. Then this home came up for sale, and it being my home place, I really wanted to keep it in the family. So Tim graciously agreed, under the condition, that we would not give up our dreams of building a castle, and he could build and add onto the existing structure.

Our first year here in 1997, it took us all year to turn the back cross-fenced field into a yard. It was awful, worn out fencing, weeds and briars grown up over head’s height in some places. Then the following year, Tim ordered the first delivery of stone. See the photo below, after arrival then we had to go through and make piles of the different size stones. This is Tim in the photo. He started building the stone fence, and our castle construction begun from that point.
