Every 24 minutes, someone, somewhere in Britain starts an extension on their house, but regrettably a shocking number of these building projects ends in total disaster. Perhaps you’ve suffered the consequences of a dodgy builder firsthand, or at the very least will know someone who has. So the prospect of entrusting them to create your dream home is anathema to you. But what if the reason so many home extensions fail wasn’t down to cowboy builders or incompetent architects? What if you knew the real reasons building projects go belly-up, and how you could avoid making the same mistakes? This book is a step-by-step handbook on how to extend your home, and get it right first time. The author officially Britain’s ‘most heavenly builder’, and co-runs a multi-award winning architectural practice. He understands the house extension industry from the inside out, so there is no one better to guide you past the pitfalls of the house extension process than Deepak. Before diving in head first to extend your home, invest the time to educate yourself in the home extension process, because this book may just save you from a home improvement nightmare.
How to Extend Your Home

The Golden Gate Smuggling Company
In 1979, Brett Douglas was a twenty-eight-year-old US Marine Corps veteran working as a commercial tuna fisherman in California. That year, a young man named Bruce Perlowin came looking for professional seamen and found a few, including the author. The fishermen he recruited became a crew that played an integral part in smuggling more than 250 tons of marijuana that FBI agents credited to the Perlowin Conspiracy. The Golden Gate Smuggling Company provides a true, behind-the-scenes story of The Company, the largest marijuana smuggling operation in the history of San Francisco. In the early 1980s, commercial tuna fishermen used long-range tuna boats specially outfitted for the eight-thousand-mile round-trip between San Francisco and Colombia. Each boat carried at least 30 million dollars worth of marijuana to the Companys private pier in the San Francisco Bay area. Douglas, a fisherman who lived through it all, narrates this adventure from load number one to the federal courthouse in San Jose four years later. Through the story of the Company, Douglas chronicles a laid-back, Californiastyle drug-smuggling empire that operated free of Hollywood clichs: no guns, no violence, no dramatic shoot-outs or car chases.
