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:
It’s probably an excellent article on the issue, but I have to say I am so very tired of all information being presented as video. I could have read the article as an article in under two minutes and had a better understanding; no need to ‘weed’ out the humorous fluff, just the facts. I only checked it out because it was on Lloyd’s site… anywhere else I woulda passed it by and saved myself the aggravation.
I agree. I HATE being forced to watch video to get information that you could read a lot faster.
