“Actually I like most of it. I think given the chance it will grow on most of the people.” – Audreylynette Wood

“I think they need a second bid to repaint the house. I’d be happy to give them a quote. I’m pretty sure I can get closer to $80-90k for me.” – Chris Bove

“It kinda looks cool, not my style but lots of artists types would love it and I think the repaint estimate is laughable. Even a child would come up with a more realistic estimate than that.” – Danny Worten
