I’ve just realized, after struggling to make infrequent (and long) blog postings monthly or so, I should do shorter postings more often. I went for a run in the hills this afternoon. Got down to a creek and there was a spot of sunlight and I stripped and lay in the sparkling water for a minute. My time of year, being of the Taurus persuasion. Then I ran another few miles to a cat-tailed-lined pond of my acquaintance and swam in the cool water. Getting out in the woods and beach is an antidote to sitting at a computer.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
