*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

In the full swing of his mid-life crisis, author Patrick Hutchison takes the plunge and purchases a run down and poorly built cabin in the middle-of-nowhere Washington. Suddenly a homeowner, and finally given an excuse to purchase power tools, Hutchison and his band of yuppie friends embark in the wilderness for an adventure fueled by beer and the possibility of becoming a handyman.

Hutchison has a gift for narration and engaging storytelling, he does a wonderful job of taking the reader back to the very beginning-- when he wasn't quite sure how to correctly wield a hammer-- to the end of his craftsman's journey on Witt's End. Lessons are learned, mistakes are made, and a foundation is laid (both literally and figuratively) as Hutchison tries to figure out the direction he wants his life to take.

While I wasn't the target audience (which most likely leans towards millennial, non-handy men) I still enjoyed the journey and learned a thing or two about how to take care of a leaky roof.
