Finnish born Hanna and Jock run a landscape gardening business from a nearby office and live in the secluded leafy suburb of Daceyville. While they‘ve had plenty of experience renovating gardens they've never done up a house before and are concerned about the obvious nasties in dust and lead based paint.
With new painting already underway and a complete nursery makeover around the corner, the couple are blissfully unaware of the house's high toxicity. Even before birth, their child has been exposed to hundreds of chemical compounds, many of which could harm their child's health and development.
A filthy chimney and an unflued gas heater pose further threats as the Gammon family discover the importance of a house detox.
In addition, Jock has concerns about the recently exposed floorboards after he decided to take up all the carpet. A vast amount of dust is settling everywhere. The house is also now much colder and although Hanna, who migrated from Finland seven years ago, has wood fire plans, Jock tends a little more conservatively towards household heating. An ancient unflued gas heater sits in the living room corner, the couple oblivious to its dangerous gasses.
