This book made me want to purchase a house in the middle of the woods! I think going into this I thought it would more about off the grid adventures and less about the restoration projects. Maybe that was me not completely reading the synopsis, so it could have been my fault not knowing what I was getting into. While it was really funny at times the detail of some of the renovations and projects kind of dragged on for me and i found myself not really caring. That also could be because I know nothing about carpentry and have zero interest. So again, maybe I should have known what I was getting into before requesting this one, because it just wasn't for me.
