About the Author

Spike Carlsen built a tree house at the age of 8 and has been swinging a hammer ever since. He worked as a carpenter and contractor for 15 years, then as an editor with The Family Handyman — the world’s leading DIY magazine — for another 15. He’s the author of the award-winning A Splintered History of Wood, Woodworking FAQ, and The Backyard Homestead of Building Projects. He’s written for Men’s Health, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, American Woodworker, and other publications and has appeared on HGTV, Modern Marvels, and CBS’s The Early Show. He and his wife, Kat, divide their time between their home in Stillwater, Minnesota, and their cabin on Lake Superior.

From the Back Cover

This entertaining memoir of a do-it-yourself adventure traces a couple's steps and missteps as they plunge headlong into the building of their dream cabin. Through every stage of the journey -- from finding land to drawing up plans, framing the structure, putting up drywall, and applying the final coats of paint -- the couple's blended family of seven must learn to work together and compromise. With generous honest and wry humor, Spike Carlsen shares the heartaches, challenges, and, finally, the immense satisfactions of building a home away from home where all family members feel welcome, essential, and free to be themselves.
