Summary
When siblings Dan and Hayley Daley inherit their late grandmother's derelict Victorian farmhouse, it seems like a dream come true. All they have to do is fix the place up and sell it for a tidy profit!
Except - as anyone who has renovated an old house knows - things are never that easy.
The walls are rapidly crumbling around them, the architect is a certified lunatic, the budget is spiraling...and then there's the disturbingly intelligent cow to worry about.
On top of all this, the renovation is being featured on a daytime reality TV show, and as soon as Great Locations presenter Gerard O'Keefe catches sight of Hayley's first-floor balcony, he's determined to woo her out of her ban on romance, whether she wants him to or not.
Will Dan and Hayley survive and sell up? Or will the whole thing collapse on them like a ton of bricks?
From bestselling author Nick Spalding comes a hilarious tale of life, love, and dodgy plumbing.

Totally TOTALLY bloody hilarious!!!
I have never EVER laughed so much in my life. the performance between Heather and Napoleon was just brilliant. I never expected to be so captivated by a comedy before but listening to audible was like watching a play being acted out. The story was just hilarious and bloody well written..... first book I have read by this author but not doubt it will be my last as I will certainly be looking for more..... BRILLIANT!!!!

Shame
I was really looking forward to this book but i just couldn’t get past the narration. I agree with another reviewer in that the voice was far too posh for the character. I very rarely give up on a book but unfortunately I have this time. Given 3 star review as wasn’t fair to give 1star when I haven’t listened to the whole thing.

Poor narration
Woman's voice was too upper class and totally different to her brothers!
And why have a female and a male narrator for them to narrate both lead voices very differently. Ruined the story for me and didn't finish it

Another fine romp!
Excellent tale from Nick, I've read them all and this has become a new favourite! Very funny in the way you expect from Nick and a good tale that's more interesting than the TV renovation shows. Only got the audio version by mistake but enjoyed it though the narration's not the best.

Just nailed my sense of humour on the head!
The art of storytelling is given this tongue in cheek, humanistic flavour by the author.
If you are a regular viewer of shows like Homes Under The Hammer, or the various self build or renovation shows, this is an eye opening, humorous behind the scenes exposé of what the cameras Don’t show and tell us! This is told in exactly the way I would retell any personal experience to a good friend - the embarrassment, the pathos, the frustrations, the worries, all of the human emotions surrounding a stressful event such as this! Never a dull moment, even in recounting the dull moments!
The two narrators are fabulous! You can’t fault them on any aspect. A great choice for the layout of the book!
My favourite character? Pat the Cow!
