Jim and Mary Baxter are in the middle of one of life's major traumas: they are having an extension built on to their house. A great deal of their time is taken up with negotiating with the builder, the charming but evasive David.

By turns hilarious and touching, this well-observed comedy will bring smiles and groans of recognition to all those who have ever been involved in this situation -- and a few rueful warnings to those who have not!
