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.

Failed Ambitions

I thought that I'd manage to crank out a slew of witty, informative, and moderately vulgar posts this week, but it isn't going to happen. Too busy and too tired to manage it. However, next week you might be delighted or disgusted to learn all about The Clap, Warming Up for the 2007 Dumbass Awards, strange visitors and long-lost friends, How Darth Vader Made Me Plumb the Bathroom, and other post of questionable value.

The interior painting is nearing the end (semantically speaking). We’re going to try to finish the master bedroom and bathroom this weekend. And, we just might make it. If not, I'll whine about it next week.

Hey, have you seen the sight dealing with a home made version of the 'silent paint remover'? If not, let me know and I will shoot you the link.
