Thanx ~kay4453~THE TIKI Stone castles were built by stacking large stone blocks row upon row seperated by a layer of morter, the number of blocks needed was immense, and often a castle would be built near a quarry for conveiniance, by the standards of the time, castles were VERY comfortable, the hearths themselves were a luxury not afforded to many, and the safety of having 8-20 foot thick walls protecting you was exclusive to the rich, or the military. ssej86 Hi, i am from the uk and stone castles were the most uncomfyest place to live!!! Levan Uncomfy? Ah, but you're comparing to modern day living. When castles were built, they were much more luxurious than the places other folks lived in. Normal houses were much less comfortable. Few had proper chimneys, so were filled with smoke from a fire. Many castles had dedicated toilets and washing places - this most certainly wasn't enjoyed by normal people. Kay4453 Thanx for your help but i had to turn my project in before ya'll answered but i still made a 99(thats an A)
