Tyler Perry's real house of pain
Tyler Perry, creator of the "House of Payne" TV show, is building his dream home on a 17-acre tract he bought off Paces Ferry along the Chattahoochee River. The 30,000-square-foot French provincial mansion should be ready by Thanksgiving. But Perry's purchase of the property in 2005 has put him into a drama more bizarre than any play he's written or movie he's produced. Joey Ivansco / AJC
