Begegnung der besonderen Art: Der erste Eindruck vom Haus war eher negativ. Niedrige Decken, kleine Raume, schmaler Flur und nirgendwo konnte man einen rechten Winkel oder eine gerade Wand entdecken. Das ganze naturlich im klassischen Charme einer 60er-Jahre-Senioren-Wohnung inklusive aufdringlicher Blumenfliesen, klobiger Olofen, beiger und giftgruner Bad-Armaturen und dunkelbraunem Teppichboden. Dazu ein kleiner Innenhof hinter dem Haus und der nur funf Meter breite, aber 60 Meter lange Garten. Ein altes, sanierungsbedurftiges Haus mit unmoglichem Grundriss. Doch trotzdem: Wir haben uns in das Haus verliebt " Und so begann fur die Autorin eine abenteuerliche Reise in die Welt der Haussanierung.

Jeder Bauabschnitt hin zum Niedrigenergiehaus wird selbstironisch und humorvoll kommentiert. Selten hat man Hausbau so nah und so mitreissend erlebt
