"Never again," Richard La Plante promised after he and his new partner completed building their family home in East Hampton, New York. But he did not keep his promise. Instead he bought 20 acres of raw land on a mountaintop located three . 5 thousand miles away in a little town that he had visited only by Internet...and the nightmare begun. Richard and his partner were soon coping with a house in New York to sell, a massive loan to repay for the recently purchased land, dishonest contractors, some of the most stringent building rules in America, and the financial collapse of 2008. With no general builder because that they had decided to save money by doing it themselves, La Plante and his partner face a clear bank account, a black-widow spider infestation, and a big wooden-frame with no house windows. With two young sons to raise, a stony silence between them, and a married relationship counselor who says in sagely fashion, "There's only 1 answer: finish the house," the La Plantes stumble from amusing disaster to not-so-hilarious disaster to ultimate success. Never Again is a seven-year chronicle of trial and triumph, both a warning and an motivation to anyone endeavoring to build a goal.
