This program is read by the author. “This is a great audiobook for nature lovers, carpenters, and people who dream of their hobby becoming their day job.”—AudioFile 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. Wit’s End isn’t just a state of mind. It’s the name of a gravel road, the address of a rundown, 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. To 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. CABIN 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 an audiobook for those who know what it’s like to bite off more than you can chew, or who desperately wish to. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Who could resist a house selling for less than $10,000 with the name ‘Wit’s End’? Author Hutchison couldn’t….Now a full-time carpenter he never turns down a beer, or a chance to laugh at himself.” Los Angeles Times
“In this equally motivating and relatable book, that earnest commitment to learning and the thrill that accompanies even the tiniest achievement shows on nearly every page.” Washington Post

Author Bio: Patrick Hutchison

Patrick Hutchinson is a writer and builder from the Pacific Northwest. His work has appeared in Outside, Wired, Vice, Seattle magazine, and Seattle Weekly. 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 his debut 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, Washington, where he lives with his wife, Kate, and their black lab, Marge. Cabin is his first book.
