Handbook of Practical Deserted House Rescue

This handbook is intended to help those planning to purchase and renovate a derelict house. In many ways, the approach and working methods differ from normal renovation, as one often has to start from a much worse initial condition than a typical house. Saving a derelict house is climate-smart and economical. Utilizing what has already been built often means a good location in the landscape and sound materials that can be repaired and maintained for centuries. The book can also serve as inspiration for those considering taking on and renovating an old house.
