The author and his new wife buy their dream home in the Hamptons and learn the painful lesson about being house poor, and thinking that all you need is a do-it-yourself attitude. The once certified bachelor marries his dream girl, they buy a money pit of a house, and they struggle to renovate the house while keeping their marriage together, as mishaps with planning and zoning boards, contractors and themselves, cause stress beyond belief. It wasn't as "funny" as the testimonials on the book make it seem, it was more nerve-wracking and sadly relatable. A fine read, for sure.
