Wednesday at the beach: Look at this engineering disaster plunked right in front of a nice beach front cottage. The monstrosity is actually right in front of the cottage, blocking the ocean view, although it doesn’t show in this perspective. Engineers and regulators once again run amok.
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:

Money over brains..
Looks like they are expecting oceans to rise big time!
My God! What a stupid, arrogant thing to do…
It looks like a Transformer – hideous.
"plunked right in front of a nice beach front cottage"? more like PUKED right in front of a nice beach front cottage. this makes me irate
When they first started building that house I remember thinking to myself, "Are you kidding me?" But no, unfortunately it was not a joke. It must be nice to be so self-centered and never care what anyone else thinks. At least the house right behind it is a rental. And in a little bit of karma the bottom steps leading up to the house have washed away at least once.
