Last week, Kyle Theirmann, surfer, skater, journalist, and pal of Chris Ryan’s came here to do a podcast of me talking about the ’60s, about which he is doing a book based on the fact that a lot of millennials (he’s 32) are aware that something happened then, but don’t know exactly what.
To start out, I gave him a thumbnail description of our first books, and I got him to shoot this video on my camera.

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

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:

Lloyd, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your friend, Louie. Losing a dear friend leaves a big hole in the heart. Janice
Lloyd,
Sorry to hear about the passing of two of your good friends recently. I’ve spent some time on Hornby Island, and met Lloyd Hiouse. Saw his beautiful communal sauna, before it burned down. It was HUGE, and spoke of Lloyd’s creativity and carpentry skills. If memory serves, most of the wood was scrounged driftwood. The locals would fire it up on Sundays, and anyone on the island was welcome to come sweat with friends and strangers. I was never there on a Sunday, darn it.
Coincidentally, I just ordered 2 copies of Builders of the Pacific Coast, one for me , one for a friend. It’s my favorite of all your EXCELLENT books !
Please correct the typo I just made !
Take the i out of HOUSE. Thanks
Our dear Lloyd. I don’t like to hear the sense of loss in your voice. But I understand it very well. Love!
