An enjoyable memoir about a woman who "marries" her house to a cottage, to create a live/work space. Whouley writes well, and the cast of characters - her friends and the various contractors, plumbers and electricians come to life as the story unfolds.

This is an interesting tale of moving a small house and attaching it to another small house to make a bigger house! I learned some construction terms to wow my friends and family with, but I would have been greatly helped in many of the discussions of the logistics of what all was being done to the houses to connect them well if there had been a blueprint of the floor plan included. As a reader I wasn't as intimately familiar with the houses as the author and some of the paragraphs were hard to follow in details of moving walls and windows, etc. Liked her gumption though and the vision to make it all work. Overall, enjoyed very much.
