Description
===========
Compatibility fix for Life of Sir Balin and Castle of Night mods.

If you already have both mods, and they are installed you just need to grab the ESPs, if you dont have them both, then grab the whole package.

I would STRONGLY recommend that you also get BOSS (Better Oblivion Sorting Software) by random007, available here:

which helps to organize your mods load order.

Details
=======
While playing last week, I found Haunted Castle (from the great mod Castle of Night by sugawara). I went inside the gate, looked around, and noticed, on the right side, that there was a rock pile floating up in the wall, above the horse stables. Upon using the great formid finder spell (found here "http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16704")
I found it to be from The Life of Sir Balin (another great mod, this one by Edocsil). So, I modified it to my liking, and proceeded to ask both of them if I could release it to the community, in case anyone else has both of these mods installed and are playing them, but unable to get to the door to cave of the earth. I got positive responses from both of them, so I am uploading it here.
