The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
How big was the Boarding House?
morriswalters:
The six months timeline is off. Harry is brought back six months after his death, and the castle is already in use.
Modern construction can be done quickly, precast concrete panels and steel frames in particular. Having said that, a castle isn't modern construction. Harry is resurrected in May. Which means the castle would have been erected in winter. I can suspend belief as well as the next guy, but unless they used magic that would have been a tough build. But, magic I guess.

That assumes a lot unless he knew Harry was coming back. And according to portal mechanics as described in Skin Game that might change with The Brighter Future Society being there instead of Dresden.

Yea but technically the BFS stole Harry's brighter future mojo when they formed in the first place, remember what Harry's NN side looked like outside his house in iirc GP? It was Chicago, except brighter... and cleaner. I find this to be too much to be coincidence in the grand scheme of things.

I think it’s just one of those aspects to the story where you don’t look too closely. Like Dresden’s origin story, him not being able to be near electronics but living in an apartment with a neighbour having a tv a meter above his head, why Captain Picard just happened to be wearing a jacket for the first time when he was beamed down to survive with a Tamarian captain, et cetera.

Thresholds.... Thresholds....

They built the Empire State building from scratch in a little over a year. That was back in 1930. I can see a small castle/keep being built in 6 months. Marcone may have had some supernatural help on the construction also.
