I enjoyed reading about the renovation and all the hard work that was put into it. I know if my husband and I took on a project like that it would definitely test our marriage. I am very impatient and have no desire to build or redo a house. It was interesting to read how the author and her husband were able to work through obstacles with principles that can be applied to a marriage as well as their task of transforming a house.

I loved the questions at the end of every chapter that helps readers to apply it their marriage. There are several keys things needed to have a good marriage; God, communication and trust. As we read the book we can see how the couple needed to trust each other in order to accomplish their goal. I laughed about the raccoon because I would have blamed my husband as well for allowing the animal to invade our house.

The construction breaks at the end of each chapter are encouraging and helps guide couples to resolution during conflicts. The book is filled with a journey of renovating a house as well as nurturing a marriage. The author does a great job of using examples from their project to help them grow their marriage stronger. It has been an adventure reading how much work the couple did to see their dream come true. It reminds me to use that same principal in our marriage. We should work hard at keeping our marriage strong and put everything into it just as we would undertaking a project.

Having lived in South Carolina, and also having parents who attempted to completely renovate a historic home in Salisbury, North Carolina when I was in high school, I knew I had to read this book.

This book combines the best of the realism of home renovation along with marriage advice. Seeing how my parents interacted as they worked to renovate a historic home that had to be gutted provided me with a unique perspective as I read about Greg and Denise Broadwater’s adventures and experiences with renovating a historic home.

I loved how real she was throughout the book. I found her words to be inspiring. So check out this book for yourself.
