When I picked up "This Old Dump," I still had paint stuck under my fingernails and wallpaper paste in my hair. I found my sense of humor again, as well as many friends in Laura Walker's book--and recommend it for anyone who's hooked on HGTV or who's known by his or her first name at Home Depot.
This book is as much about maintaining your marriage as it is about maintaining your house. The perfect book for any couple contemplating a home repair project. The life you save may be your own!
Laura Jensen Walker is in rare form with this great book on renovating one's house without losing one's marriage. Humor, help, and hope run through its pages. Expect to laugh as you learn--and then get to work on your 'old dump!'
I can relate to "romantic dates" at Home Depot. I can also relate to those moments when the renovation involves reinventing your marriage . . . in order to create a happy home. (Key word is happy.) If you're in the midst of remodel woes, or if you're considering embarking on your first project together, I highly recommend Laura Jenson Walker's book. I laughed out loud and nodded my head in agreement as I read. It truly is a book that can help you renovate without decking your mate!
What a hoot! Received my copy today, started reading and couldn't put it down until I finished. Every single story reminded me of something that happened as we were fixing up the various places we've lived in over the years. I could write an entire book about remodeling my husband's mom's house! My absolute favorite part was where Bill took the dog's Phenobarbital instead of his Prozac and the poison control center responded, "If you start barking, come in!" - I laughed out loud. Another totally delightful book by Laura Jensen Walker - a must by for anyone who is starting a home "project!"
