Value Added: The riotous flim-flam & falderol of building a house in 1910 U.S.A. - Paperback

by Hettie Ashwin (Author)

How to get ahead in your chosen field is a matter of talent, tact and tenacity.

Jack Renfrew-newly minted architectural apprentice-hopes are high.

Mr and Mrs Brown want a house. Their small piece of paradise with modern conveniences at affordable prices.

Mr Renfrew might be the man to make Bill and Enid Brown's dreams come true. It's just a matter of juggling a builder, a planning officer, his superior's superior ego and Mr Brown's daughter. From baseboards to webbing trusses, it's a close run thing which gets pulled out the most, Bill's cheque book or Jack's hair.
