HearthFire: Windstad Manor - Fortified and Upgradable -by OH

Quick Update (3/24/2014) .. So, have some fantastic news. With some help, I was able to recover my last in progress version of this mod which contained some significant improvements! The next update Will not only be available sooner, but will be a significant revision on the current version (v2.0).

Cant wait to share it with you all!

Quick Update (3/20/2014) .. I am alive! after a very long break I'm back at it. I'm spending the next couple weeks to review everyone's comments (here and on Nexus), logging all the bugs, and getting a new update out to the community. Lots of features planned! Stay tuned!!

Overview:
Ever wished that the Hearth Fire DLC did just a little bit more? I wanted my home to be a castle so I decided to make one! This mod integrates into the Hearth Fire mod and extends it. Once you have house steward available in your home, you will be able to speak with him/her to "improve the grounds" by adding an outer wall, inner fortress, well, farm house, gates, beacon, stockade and other features. The new book on the drafting table will describe all the various features and keep you up to date of the changes.

Hope you all enjoy and I'll update when I can.

Feedback is always appreciated and please let me know if you find any bugs (here or on steam). This is my first crack with the creation kit so please be kind. Suggestions for things to add will always be welcome as well!

-------------------
(Update 04/21/2013) -- (v1.1) Uploaded to Nexus!

Manor features are now buyable from the house steward, complete with dependency buying structure. When you speak to him/her after installing the mod, you will have an option to "Make improvements to the grounds". All current (and future) features are will accessible from there. Fully integrated into the out-of-the box hearth fire DLC, you should not even notice it didn't come like that! Full speech support with the house stewards natural voice and complete with a buying structure for the mods (you need to build the walls before you can add a portcullis gate for example).. tried to make it as much of a natural extension to the Bethesda DLC as possible given my limited experience.

There is a convenient book I wrote which can be found on the drafting table outside. It will explain all the various features currently implemented and hints at what is upcoming. I'll outline what has been added in this release:
-Ground Guide book (located on the drafting table) outlining the buying guide.
-Complete integration with your current House Steward, with voice support.
-Several buyable features.
-Corrected a glitch in the local dungeons where a work in progress crossed over and prevented you from getting into the tombs.
-------------------
(Update 04/20/2013) -- Stables have been remade, will plug into the out of the box Hearthfire DLC. Also added no-respawn barrel, sack and chest for misc. storage and water troughs for the horses.
-------------------
(Update 04/19/2013) -- v1.0 available. Contains original version of the outer walls which will be static only (install the mod and they will be available regardless, if you want the dynamic upgradable option, use the latest version).
