This book is a guide to creating your perfect home. It is an extension of some of the feature articles published in 'at home' - the popular monthly supplement to The Press in Christchurch. The book is in two parts. Part One covers the main points to consider before tackling a major project in the home. It starts with the dream itself: how do you choose what kind of home you really want? Following chapters examine problems facing New Zealand householders today, for example the need for more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly homes. Then the book looks at the basics of how to renovate an existing home for maximum value, and goes through the house room by room: kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms are discussed. Landscaping and garden design, choosing art and furniture, and living with new technology are all covered too, in a logical and straightforward manner.

New Zealand houses - including many built in the 1990s Mediterranean style - are too often damp, cold and mouldy. In modern leaky buildings, water penetrates the building envelope and stays in the wall cavity, where it rots the wood and enables fungi to grow.
This book outlines: the extent of our damp, mouldy houses; the history of leaky buildings; health effects - and costs - of exposure to indoor mould; ways to measure mould; the costs of fixing leaky homes; what we still don't know about indoor mould, and recommendations for future research.
