Curse Thy Neighbour’s Extension

Description

Curse Thy Neighbour’s Extension: true stories gathered over a lifetime, they are  frequently hilarious, sometimes shocking, and often salutary.

Are you a fan of Grand Designs?  Home makeover shows?

Do you dream of building or renovating one day?

Have you ever built or renovated and come to grief along the way?

Do you know someone who has gone through all the trials and tribulations on their journey towards a grander home?  Do you have opinions on that?

Do you ever wonder why the planning and permit process is so long and involved?

Have you ever fallen out with your neighbours over their build or your own build?

Would you like to learn of others’ experiences, or compare with your own?

Whether a happy outcome or one of regret, you are among millions of other Australians who embark daily on home developments. Why, it is a national pastime – even when the housing market has gone off the boil!

In this eye-popping collection of Crazy Neighbour Objections, architect Daniel Meszaros shines a light not just on the process but on the psychological mindsets and mind-games that come into play once a building notice goes up on a front fence in your vicinity.  All true stories that he has gathered over a lifetime, they are  frequently hilarious, sometimes shocking, and often salutary. Along with his drawings, and his philosophical take on human behaviour, they will have you laughing out loud, thinking twice about your plans, and maybe, just maybe, taking a good hard look at yourself.

Whether you are an architect, a town planner, a builder, a neighbour, someone who’s built their dream home or just dreaming of building one – or just someone who loves a good laugh – this book is for you.
