Pronunciation: con a ver shun

Sentence: After watching way too many Improve Your Garden style shows on tv,the Reynolds family had decided to create a tropical getaway in their backyard. "Puerto Backyardo" they would call it, when friends asked where they'd be spending their vacation. They dreamed of Mai-Tai's served on the pool deck, luaus and barbecues with friends and a restful oasis after their hectic workdays. But Fate has a funny way of throwing cold water on your reveries. Instead of a dream home, their home had become a living nightmare of a money pit. Yes, the Reynolds' home renovation had truly become a conaversion. Due to poor planning, poor workmanship, misestimates,a fisticuffs with some of the sub-contractors, which involved police action and failure to get proper planning permission, they were left with a mess. No workable plumbing; a sinkhole, instead of a swimming pool;a huge fine for failing to dial-before-you-dig and the subsequent costs to repair the ruptured gas mains;a cease and desist work order from the county;a tools-down job action from the workers and various lawsuits from neighbours whose homes were also affected by this unnatural disaster. Not to mention, a few thousand dollars worth of tropical vegetation drying out in a shed, because there was nowhere to plant them. Serves them right for not doing their homework and checking out the credentials of their contractors, "The 3 Stooges Landscape Co." Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk...

Etymology: conversion ( the act of changing from one use or function or purpose to another;an event that results in a transformation)& aversion(a feeling of intense dislike;disinclined;opposed)
