It's the name of a gravel road, the address of a run-down off-the-grid cabin, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo say Hutchison didn't know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he's a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCABIN\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of those renovations, but it's also a love story; of a place, of possibilities, and of the process of construction, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is a book for those who know what it's like to bite off more than you can chew, or who desperately wish to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePATRICK HUTCHISON is a writer and builder from the Pacific Northwest. His work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eOutside\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWired, Vice, Seattle \u003c\/i\u003emagazine, and \u003ci\u003eSeattle Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e. He grew up in Washington State's rainy southwest corner, eventually moving to Seattle to attend the University of Washington. Working on the cabin described in this book inspired him to leave copywriting to pursue carpentry. He now finds himself most often in the woods, working on tiny homes, cabins, and treehouses. When he isn't building, you'll find him at his home in Tacoma, WA, where he lives with his wife, Kate, and their black lab, Marge. \u003ci\u003eCabin \u003c\/i\u003eis his first book.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50875128774930,"sku":"9781250285706","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_8e34a7f4-be2b-4426-ad8c-95bf57ba1846.jpg?v=1738018303","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/cabin-off-the-grid-adventures-with-a-clueless-craftsman-9781250285706","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
