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:

The more than 5,000-square-foot historic home was built in 1880 for Max Englander, who with his son Aaron owned a drayage company on Battery Street (horse-drawn hauling was known as drayage at the time). After Max’s death in 1891, Aaron continued the business and also lived in the house until his death in 1920.
Hey Lloyd,
you’ve probably seen a zillion like this, but I thought this guy’s work is very cool. (he’s in Calgary)
