Acerca de esta escucha
Renovation - money, anxiety, good faith, bad checks, tool breakdowns, people meltdowns.
This is the inside story of the reno biz that you won’t see on any home renovation show. It is the real story of the men in tool belts that we let into our homes to transform the way we live. Open Up the Wall is a chronicle of jobs and job sites, unforgettable characters and mind boggling situations. You can’t make this stuff up!
"Hilarious, heartbreaking, and achingly human. This is a riveting memoir. It is reflective of all the things that I decided too early, I wouldn’t be good at, leaving me wondering whether I should have tried them." (Sarah Polley, actor, writer, director)
"I found myself caught up in the narrative describing the world of house renovation...it is a fine book." (Patrick Crean, publisher, Harper Collins Publishing)
"Open Up the Wall has you laughing out loud one moment, and crying empathetic tears the next". (Ted Wallace, director, HGTV series The Really Big Flip)

Patrick and Clare wake up trapped in a basement, a thin wall separating their cells. Their captor is mysteriously absent, which at first seems like a blessing. As more time passes with no food or water, they begin to realize a clock is ticking for their survival. Combining their intelligence and determination, the two begin plotting an escape from their shared prison. Overcoming each obstacle only presents another obstacle standing in the way of their freedom. It will take all of their ingenuity and strength to find their way out of this mess.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Why is it being built here, and why so quickly? These are the questions Cole, Bart, and Teddy, the three principals of True Triangle Construction, ask themselves when they are hired to finish a project for a mysteriously wealthy homeowner. Nestled in the mountains outside of Jackson, Wyoming, the house is a masterpiece, unlike anything they've done before. Once finished, it promises to be the architectural prize of Jackson and could put True Triangle on the map.

He helped save people every day - but he had no idea how to save himself. Jason Sautel had it all. Confident in his abilities and trusted by his fellow firefighters, he was making a name for himself on the streets of Oakland, California. His adrenaline-fueled job even helped him forget the pain of his childhood - until the day he looked into the eyes of a jumper on the Bay Bridge and came face-to-face with a darkness he knew would take him down as well.
