Just did layout of the last home in our next book, Small Homes: The Right Size. It’s a 2-family home converted to a duplex in San Francisco,. Downstairs is Jay Nelson, his wife Rachel Kaye, and their daughter Romy; upstairs is Dalia Burde — all 3 are artists (probably Romy (above) too).
This is what’s called a “tenants in common” agreement, where 2 parties buy a home together. Listen up, people looking for homes in cities, here’s a way to cut costs in half with the important prerequisite that you’re compatible (and remain so) with each other.
At left: staircase between the 2 units, in the backyard.
We’ve got another month or so to go on the book. I’ve been neglecting a bunch of things, like working out, blogging, traveling—to get it done. Boy, do I want to get it done!
Next we’re working on the “front matter” and “back matter,” as well as the all-important, the big kahuna—the cover. We’re probably changing from a single home on the cover to a collage of 14 photos. I’m going to put up our cover choices here for general feedback pretty soon.
Listening to this song just now: Marty Raybon – There’s A Ghost In This House now:

I just about jumped out of my chair when she did that. It was so playful. She was having fun. Body language zinger.
Dear Lloyd,
My name is Benjamin, I´m an English teacher from Bielefeld, Germany and an avid follower of your blogs.
Maybe you find this interesting for your blog as well: These guys from London / France build velomobiles from wood using techniques from the times when airplanes were made of wood.
Very skilled craftsmen with beautiful vehicles – I think these guys reserve much respect 🙂
This is NOT advertising – I´m just fascinated by these vehicles !!!!! 🙂
