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

Hope all is going well and all T's are crossed and I's dotted, signed and done.
WAY TO GO, my southern friend! The Devil Queen, she works her weak and ineffectual voodoo against you, but she is no match for the good will of ME, Janine.
Canadian Mojo rules over all mwuuhahahahah

congratulations - it sounds like it has been an exhausting process!
Yeaa!!! We're so happy for you. Although, it seems so odd that someone else would be living in the Queen.
