Piano, Piano, My Ass!

By Thomas G. Duval

Anne and I are hands-on inner-city house renovators from Richmond, VA, who happened to make good on some real estate investments. We are not now, nor have we ever been, rich. We are front runners who go where others fear to tread. Some call us foolish, most call us courageous, everyone thinks we're crazy but we have a lot of fun. And we work hard. And we drink a lot of wine. We organized a tour of seventeen houses in Italy offered for sale via the Internet. We bought a 1200-year-old 3000 sq ft house to renovate on the main piazza of an old walled village founded by the Romans around 200 AD. It was not a Ryan Home. What follows in this book, in this true chronology of our ordeal, is an unabridged look into the joys, the miseries, the mistakes, the humor, the beauty, the ugliness and everything else that went into the pursuit of our quest from both technical, political and emotional points of view. It's a fun read, go ahead, risk $2.99 and tag along with us for a few hours of entertainment.
