"Hi I'm Betty Ingham and I'm speaking on behalf of Expert Village and it just kind of exploded I started painting the whole banisters I'm mean the whole post just went color and then I just got carried away and decided that to be totally victorian you needed all colors. We replaced the shutters, replaced the roof which was a major major ordeal we even took the torrent ball down and took it and got it rewelded and spray painted that cause you really couldn't paint it with the other colors.
