Playing a major part in the design, building and finishing of your own house can be challenging at any time but, as Tangea Tansley and her husband Richard Wheater are to find out, in real estate boom times it can be a particularly lengthy and daunting process. In this unusual love memoir their initial plans to build a simple house for their retirement evolves into something quite different, something that neither could have anticipated. They not only took on the challenge of building an unusual design on a difficult block, but found themselves facing the complications of building in a boom when the cost of construction materials rocketed and tradies were hard to attract at any wage. But in among the frustrations of hard-to-source bricks and mortar something less tangible and way more important holds its ground.
