The Devil Queen

How my wife and I sold our souls to the Queen Anne Victorian we tried to save.

Name:
Location: Crow Mountain, Arkansas, United States

Synopsis: This is a cautionary tale. A seriously disturbed couple find the charming, old ruin of a Queen Anne Victorian in Russellville, Arkansas, and buy it for $1.00. They tore the roof off, cut it in half, and had it moved to some land they owned sixteen miles away because they didn't know any better. Since then, they have hired and fired contractors, had all of their tools stolen, re-wired, re-plumbed, insulated, and essentially rebuilt the entire house. Their only problem is that after four years it still isn't finished. Now they are tired, broke, and wonder what in the hell it is they've done to themselves. And, it's haunted.

Thanks!

I'd like to thank everyone for the responses on the yesterday's post. They are greatly appreciated.

My wife was using a spray-on chemical paint stripper on the window in question. I forget what the brand is. It is great stuff for small projects. Maybe the stress of a good scraping was too much for it?

Well, it looks like some folks are getting stirred up about the Supreme Court's ruling on eminent domain. There is a story on Fox News today about some folks filing papers to have one of the Justice's homes turned into a hotel. Click here to read the story.
