Carpenters and craft, friendship and rivalry: Wally is building a mansion for a dot-com multimillionaire in the Silicon Valley of California. As the dot-com's stock keeps rising, the size of the house - and the owner's ego - keep growing. Wally and his colorful crew may be into something that's over their heads. When little guys work for bigshots, who gets nailed?
From bungling to burglary, from demolishing concrete to racing beltsanders, from love of tools to falling in love, everyone will encounter Wally's Laws of Construction - or are they Laws of Life? Each house, it seems, is a miracle.
Joe Cottonwood is a contractor in the Silicon Valley of California where he has been building houses - and fixing homes - for over 30 years. He is the author of FAMOUS POTATOES and other novels.

Customer Reviews
Living in the Silicon Valley & I'm smiling!!
I came across this podcast by chance and thought i'd give it a shot. Boy am I glad I did. This audiobook is narrated by the author and It's forkn' awesome. So much fun to listen to as I have grown up around home construction sites throughout my life. (And yes, using the nail gun was always scary to me, I avoided it.) I didn't want the story to end but when it dead I loudly cheered in my car. It was that good. I highly recommend it.
Thank you Joe Cottonwood
Wonderful story
The characters are flawed and complicated and incredibly endearing. I found myself worried for Wally and totally engrossed in the story
Amazed
Was dubious at first. Opal was uh ..different. The author weaves a great story
