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.

  1. 1: No helmets
    2: “I’m going a little before green” As in when there are likely to be cross traffic drivers accelerating to make the yellow light?
    3: A little before green turns out to be way before. As in totally red.
    4: “Don’t want our bodies to waste away” Even if they’re lucky and sustain only minor injuries the harm done will catch up to them. Sooner than they think
