French Carpenters Yogan and Menthe’s New Dock/base

This came in a few days ago from Yogan, a carpenter in southwest France, whose treehouse is shown in Tiny Homes (pp 154-55).

“Lloyd, i see sometime your blog and i see that you make a new book “wheels and water.” With my collaborator carpintero (his name is Menthé) we made a new shelter, the principle is a base from 15m² so you can connect 2 trucks (my mercedes and the volkwagen of menthé). The base serves as kitchen, office, bathroom …with a wood stove, and the truck serves as bedroom.…

If you come in france you’re welcome

bye

yogan”

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.
