Palm Bay, Florida - According to Dylan and Moonbeam Becker, the real estate market is "deader than a doornail" and they couldn't be happier. So, in celebration they decided to give their home the gothic makeover it deserves. "We just love it," gushed Moonbeam. "It's like, totally black and depressing."

"Before the makeover it was all like, light and bright and open. I hate that look. How can people eat, sleep or hang upside down in a place like that?" 

"It was totally creeping us out," continued Dylan. The down and out real estate market was just the "environment" we needed. We were like, really glad to hear something was as dead as we like to think of ourselves. " 

But neighbors aren't so happy with the Becker's trailer home makeover. Several have signed a petition and asked the park manager to do something about the "dead-looking trailer at 141 Sun Gazer Circle." 

Mabel Gladfolk, long time resident of the park, had this to say, "Things are depressing enough as it is. I shouldn't have to look death in the face every time I get the binoculars out to see what's going on in the neighborhood."
