When Jan and Ed Gillman bought a tumble-down weatherboard in Southport, their first intention was to demolish and start again.

What follows is a painstaking restoration process – and with no official heritage guidelines in place Jan and Ed are faced with a difficult choice: take the laborious path of restoring the house to its former glory or opt for the easier path and lose the history of the house.
