We planned to make the major changes before we moved in and did, after many delays, and after a movers' strike ended, but in early 1975 we were still eating off sawhorses. We thought we had come a long way, but work had just begun.Little did I know that it would become a love-hate affair, for the first seven years were most trying though slowly the repose and beauty of the house began to captivate me. I had no inkling that ethics would play a role in maintaining, owning, and being owned by a Wright house. Nor did I have any idea as to the varied sacrifices the house would demand. We certainly had no idea that a Wright boom was coming and with it a stream of visitors."--prologue ; AS NEW. Book.
