Title: Huse med sjæl
Description: Countless old houses have over time been subject to different fashion trends and have been fitted with recessed ceilings, element kitchens, plastic windows, etc. In recent decades, there has been far more focus on renovating in the "right" way. "Houses with soul" is about some basic restoration principles that ensure that one does not ruin the house in relation to its original appearance and the craftsmanship quality. On top of that, these are principles that make repairs much cheaper than otherwise. In an engaging, entertaining and easy-to-understand language, Søren Vadstrup conveys his vast knowledge of both craftsmanship and cultural history, which is based on years of research into "gentle building preservation"

Utallige gamle huse har op igennem tiden været underlagt forskellige modeluner og er blevet forsynet med forsænkede lofter, elementkøkkener, plastikvinduer osv. I de seneste årtier er der kommet langt mere fokus på at istandsætte på den "rigtige" måde. "Huse med sjæl" handler om nogle grundlæggende restaureringsprincipper, der sikrer, at man ikke ødelægger huset i forhold til dets oprindelige udseende og den håndværksmæssige kvalitet. Ovenikøbet er der tale om principper, der gør istandsættelsen langt billigere end ellers. I et engageret, underholdende og letforståeligt sprog formidler Søren Vadstrup sin store både håndværksmæssige og kulturhistoriske viden, der bygger på årelang forskning i "nænsom bygningsbevaring"
