The Devil Queen

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

About Me

My Photo
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.

Caulk Obsession

My wife thinks my need to caulk, stopper, plug, or to otherwise obstruct every hole, crack, and crevice in the Devil Queen is a bit excessive.

Sure, maybe I am neurotic, but look at this.


Here is PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF that my obsessive need to caulk crack is utterly justified. In all probability, there is at least one bug or spider for every godforsaken hole in this house. I just can’t live with that.

Did I mention that I hate bugs (though I will make exceptions for small, cute, non-poisonous house spiders if they are smaller than a quarter)?
