Accidental Reno: How Asbestos, Ambition, and a 1970s House Changed Everything

By Blake Thornby

When Blake Thornby and his wife bought a 1970s house with good bones and big potential, the to-do list was small: a coat of paint, new floors, maybe some fixtures. But hidden asbestos and cascading surprises turned it into a months-long gut and rebuild. Accidental Reno is a candid, sometimes funny, always insightful look at what happens when renovation dreams crash into reality - and how rebuilding the house meant rethinking everything. He hopes to provide a guide to help homeowners in a similar situation.
