Your home is your castle. Although, there are probably a handful of reasons why your home is better than a castle! Castles are fortified military keeps or noble residences, usually constructed on a hill for the best defensive advantages, and capable of housing the entire population of a town during attack. But, think how hard it would be to unload groceries if your driveway went straight up a hill? And forget about your kids playing basketball outside the garage. At times, constructing a castle took three generations of kings and architects. Three! The house you design today might be ready for your grandchild, if you’re lucky. Indoor plumbing? Not a chance, although many medieval castles had more technologically impressive latrines than many people realize: a bench with a hole in it, in a room that hangs over the lower walls, dropping waste straight into the moat twenty or thirty feet below. Another reason your home is better than a castle? No drafts! If you have proper insulation, your home can be draft free and energy efficient.
