Last week I went to Sonoma to visit Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, then to my brother’s farm in the Napa Valley, then to Harbin Hot Springs. I’ll post some photos from the trip as I get time. This is one of those farm buildings that’s been added on to many times. The central part was obviously the water tower, with a room added at the top to replace the tank.
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:

I'm a new reader and am really enjoying your blog. My family and I travel full time in an RV, so this is right down my alley 😉
Keep up the great work!
