CABIN

A memoir of the author’s journey from an office job to restoring a cabin in the Pacific Northwest,based on his wildly popular Outside Magazine piece. WitΓÇÖs End isnΓÇÖt just a state of mind. ItΓÇÖs the name of a gravel roadthe address of a run-down off-the-grid cabin120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. To say Hutchison didnΓÇÖt know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say heΓÇÖs a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Wellused to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. CABIN is the story of those renovationsbut it’s also a love story; of a placeof possibilitiesand of the process of constructionof seeing what could be instead of what is. It is a book for those who know what itΓÇÖs like to bite off more than you can chewor who desperately wish to.
