A nationally bestselling memoir of Patrick Hutchison'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 run-down 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 a book for those who know what it's like to bite off more than you can chew, or who desperately wish to.
PATRICK HUTCHISON
 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. After a decade of copywriting, Hutchison left a career behind a keyboard to pursue carpentry. His first book, 
CABIN
, follows him as he makes that clumsy transition. He now lives and works in Tacoma, WA with his wife, Kate, and their black lab, Marge.
Rich Donnelly
 began his radio career in his 20s, working weekends at KGMI and KISM, at first mostly changing tapes and reading weather forecasts on the air. Over the years he has kept busy in the radio world, even while his career diverged into technical journalism. He's done jazz shows, interview shows, and 15 years of Grateful Dead music shows for both KISM and KUGS. He also did two short freelance stints at Blue Danube Radio, an English-language service in Vienna. But the pinnacle of his radio career, of course, is the Chuckanut Radio Hour!
Phil Paige
 is a singer songwriter who recently moved to Bellingham, WA. Originally from Seattle, he has lived and played music up and down the West Coast for over forty years, and was most recently based on Lopez Island. He has released two CD's of his original music, which are described as folk, alt-country, and pop-oriented songs.
