Sugarhouse: A Memoir/Matthew Batt/258 pages

"Turning the Neighborhood Crack House into Our Home Sweet Home"--on the cover. That pretty much says it all. A young married couple who have no experience at all in home remodeling buy their first house. It's a fixer-upper to the max. Over time, they learn how to sand floors, install hardwood and slate floors, refinish cabinets and, in general, turn a wreak into a home. When they aren't working on the house, they are dealing with Matt's family which is a big job all by itself.
