520 The account of a years spent building a small post-and-
beam cabin in the hills of western Maine tells a deeper
story about brotherly bonds, home and nature. It explores
the satisfaction of building and of physical labor.
Inspired by his From the Ground Up New York Times blog,
this is the author's memoir about building and
brotherhood. Confronted with the disappointments and
knockdowns that can come in middle age-job loss, the death
of his mother, a health scare, a divorce, Lou needed a
project that would engage the better part of him and put
him back in life's good graces. City-bound for a decade,
he decided he needed to build a simple post-and-beam cabin
in the woods. He bought five acres in the hills of western
Maine and asked his younger brother, Paul, to help him.
Twenty years earlier the brothers had built a house
together. Now Lou saw working with Paul as a way to
reconnect with their shared history and to rediscover his
truest self. As the brothers, with the help of Paul's sons,
undertake the challenging construction, nothing seems to
go according to plan. But as they raise the cabin, Lou
reveals his own evolving insights into the richness and
complexity of family relationships, the healing power of
nature, and the need to root oneself in a place one can
call home.
