Building a Life

Buildings are a source of concern to owners and a cause for investment to us all, not least in their maintenance and rebuilding. But how many of us fully understand what it takes to build and maintain a house? How often do we make informed considerations of the complex client/trademan dynamic? This varied, unique and entertaining account of a life in the building trade - through the lens of 50 years first-hand experience in the industry, from bricklaying apprenticeship in 1962 to a well-earned retirement half century later - not every builder is a cowboy, not every client is clear and honest, not every brick is laid correctly, and many stories haven't a happy ending. Leo Lindsay gives us a plethora of advice and personal stories based around buildings and builders. In doing so, Building a Life sheds a wise light on our lives in and around the place we call home.
