Lighten up about remodeling!

This is a really funny and very well-written book about two Manhattan queens who buy a mansion in the South and renovate it. Every remodeling horror you can imagine is described, but it all works out in the end! This book underscores the need for Cash, Cash, Cash! My girlfriend is reading it now and is finding it sweet and fun.

It's a real joye

I would encourage anyone who has ever renovated, built or are considering doing so to read this very funny book. I literally laughed till I cried at times. We are sure that we have had to deal with some of the same "contactors" that they write of and we are amazed that they can make such nightmares so funny.. We will buy this for every friend who is taking on the great adventure of renovation.

This is a must for anyone even thinking about remodeling!!!

This book is so funny, I have read it three times and find something different every time. It keeps the reader laughing!

THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING

ON A STREET CALLED EASY,IN A COTTAGE CALLED JOYE BY GREGORY WHITE SMITH AND STEVEN NAIFEH IS A VERY ENTERTAING HUMOROUS TALE OF THE ADVENTURES OF RESTORING A PROPERTY IN AIKEN ,S.C. THE HISTOTY OF THE PROPERTY IS INTERWOVEN WITH THE DETAILS OF THE ADVENTURES AND MISADVENTURES OF THE RESTORATION. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.IT MAKES YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD..NOT ALWAYS EASY IN THESE TIMES. IT IS TRUELY A JOYE TO READ!!!!

You'll laugh out loud, and smile when you're not laughing.

Leaving behind the aggravation of New York City life, two Harvard-trained, Pulitzer Prize winning authors purchase and renovate the house they've each dreamed of since childhood. The transition they experience as they adjust to their new southern address is a welcome one. Naifeh and Smith have a talent for accurately describing their new acquaintances - construction contractors, merchants, and millionaires alike - without ridiculing them. An easy-reading, entertaining book that leaves most readers embarrassed to be caught laughing out loud
