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:
at one time I yearned to save up to go on many of these "amazing luxury cruises"….
Now, since there have been SO MANY incidents of catastrophes on board these luxury cruise liners, most all of which involve the toilets backing up, various nasty personal habit responses to same….the spark has gone.
I have little yearning to splurge on these, and most always when I see them advertised, the first thing which comes to mind are the various disasters which have involved cruise liners in the past few years.
by the way,
counting passengers/crew, how many people do you all figure is maximum capacity on one this size?
Yes, and any passenger on such a monster don't care shitt about the environment. So sad.
