Description

Shot over several years, this is a record of the filmmaker and his wife turning a derelict farmhouse on Anglesey into a habitable rural home for themselves and their dogs. The film includes scenes of the couple hard at work on the building itself, where a lot of structural alterations were involved, and a wide range of building skills required, and also outside, clearing the overgrown land to turn into a garden.
