Bricking It

Dan and Hayley Daley have inherited a crumbling Victorian farmhouse from their grandmother. On paper the plan is simple: repair the place and sell it for a profit. Anyone who has taken on an old building knows that rarely goes to plan, and this house seems determined to fall apart faster than they can fix it.

The siblings soon face one problem after another. The walls keep giving way, the architect they hire is seriously eccentric, the money drains away at an alarming rate, and a cow with unsettling intelligence complicates matters further.

Their struggles are also being filmed for a daytime show called Great Locations, where presenter Gerard O'Keefe is a regular. When he spots Hayley on her first-floor balcony, he decides to win her over, even though she has sworn off romance and has no interest in his attention.

Will the two of them get through the renovation and sell up, or will the whole project collapse around them? The story is a comic look at family, love and faulty pipework.
