Pics of our blue castle
As promised in previous posts, pictures of the blue castle where we are eventually moving to and building on.

Main turret. We want to paint clouds on it. Huge kitchen downstairs, huge bedroom upstairs.

Green house runs the length of the rest of the house.

Other end where we want to build a matching turret.

The pond (now since full with water and fishes)
The property is ten acres with a well (ver important here in NM) by a main highway that you can't see from the house. Intrestingly, the top of the property by the highway is zoned commercially, making it the perfect place for us to live and build our 18 hole jumbo-miniature golf course. That's how we want to be old people. Live in this weird place, build odd sculptues and buildings on the property, and run a roadside attraction. The owner is living in Costa Rica and trying to sell the place. We finally secured a two year lease which gives four of us some time to get it together and buy it. Anybody got a spare 20 grand?

Re: Pics of our blue castle
I'm nuts about the place, the greenhouse sold me, how are you going to grow illegal things with a tourist attraction on site?
Kidding, I like the place, I'm SO happy for the two of you, it looks like a fun ass project.

Oh, yea, there's a grow room in the basement. At least that's what it looks like it was used for. A tiny little room under a trap door with an outlet every couple of feet on the ceiling. We might just make it ur little grotto dungeon.
I didn't mention there's also a rock labyrinth and a kiva (underground mud-hut) on the land.

Re: Pics of our blue castle
Hell, I'd love to visit sometime
Sounds like my kind of place

Re: Pics of our blue castle
If they're from Costa Rica, or frequent there, they may have been growing orchids in the basement.

Re: Pics of our blue castle
Actually, they did grow orchids in the greenhouse and sold them. We're thinking we should so the same. The green house is big enough to feed us from and produce exotic plants that are hard to find in New Mexico. We want to grow carnivorous plants. The wife has a green thumb. Mine's just dirty.

Re: Pics of our blue castle
Ooooooh lemme help. I know all kinds of stuff. AND what I dont know, I know ppl who do.
At any rate its such a badass set up, with SO much potential.
I'm excited for the both of you.
I've got some plants I can divide. I've also got some suggestions for some good plant starters.

Re: Pics of our blue castle
Is there a low light section, and a bright light section?

Re: Pics of our blue castle
That place is awesome!!!!

Re: Pics of our blue castle
hmmmm, 20k in two years?
Let's see here... 4 people, so that's 2,500 a year per person? (Math is not my strong point.)
Shouldn't bee too, too hard to save up for.... you could make that getting a second part time job at a starbucks or some such... Live on chicken, and dried beans, and broccoli, and water for two years, cut out all extra expenses like cigarettes, beer, and such, and you'd have the money in no time. (Hell, eat some blueberries, and eggs, and spinach just to cover all of your nutritional bases there...)
Just a thought. (Frugality, and saving money ROCKS! I totally want this to be the new wave of sexiness for the kids. "Yo, so I dumped that text messaging money eating time consuming piece of shit cell I had, and decided to kick it old school with a land line..."----not that those are cheaper per se, but you get the idea. :thumb: )
Shit, I might even do that myself and save up for a _________.

Re: Pics of our blue castle
One of our number is going for work in the film industry (a lot of that here) for approx. 7 grand/month. We've thought about it. We're qualified, bt there's a lot of pros and cons.
As far as eating healthy, bacon and beans every day. Puts a roof over your stomache.

Re: Pics of our blue castle
I dont eat any pork products, unless I eat bacon ON RARE OCCASION.
I've got some fantastic recipes, I've listed elsewhere... but they really lend a hand to stretching every penny... (I've said it before I can stretch a penny so far it looks like copper wire)

I dont use any form of instant messaging. Sorry. I do use the my*space though

Re: Pics of our blue castle
You might want to grow some orchids in the basement...
You might be unaware how sexually charged orchids are... they make a perfect addition to any dungeon
Buy a couple and have them near by during a 'session' ...if you're at all sensitive to energy .... they'll blow your mind.
I'm not kidding.
That feeling's enhanced if you actually raise, and bloom them yourself

Code level orange. My exspokenmental word band (who I'm sure none of you have checked out yet) will play thund'rous drums and weird mindbending improv noise into the wayoutousphere to a lot of substance influenced people unto the wee hours. It's also our first test to see what we can get away with.
