Hi there, I have seen your book on small houses and thought it was extremely nice… In case you’re planning a follow up, here’s a link to the website for our building project here in northern Spain: www.abrazohouse.org We started off with a genuinely small cob house, Snail Cabin, 15 round metres (later expanded to about 45) – 4 of us were living there for about 3 years. Now we’ve moved into a bigger house, but the small one is still there as a guest house.
All the best,
Robert

“I’ve followed your stream of fantastic information…for quite a few years, monthly I seem to find something that really speaks to me on those pages. I own most of your books from Shelter Publications and am particularly inspired by “Builders of the Pacific Coast.”I believe a sequel to that book, if time and material permits, would be well received. I wanted to email you to say thanks and share some of the projects I’ve been involved with in the last few years here, at the website here. Much of my work from the last few years is in the portfolio section. I think you may enjoy, “Working with a Master,” “Extended Point,” and “Stevens Point IFTB,” Thanks for your enthusiasm in the field of handmade construction and keep up the fine work.

Lloyd, I took up longboarding about three months ago at the age of 63 (I’m 64 now). Thanks for the inspiration, since you’re even older than me! And still longboarding. I too use a Big Stick. And also have taken some falls, but not since I went Big Stick. Here in Oregon we’ve got acorns and other woody stuff that falls on trails. I just got a 60″ bamboo Norgeboard that seems more steady over such obstacles. I also blog about my adventures in longbording. See my “skateboarding” category:

Narrow house opening as art work in Warsaw/MONIKA SCISLOWSKA, Associated Press/October 19, 2012.
“Workers adjust a gate in front of one of the world’s narrowest houses, in Warsaw, Poland, Friday, Oct. 19, 2012. The two-level “Keret’s House” is no wider than 122 centimeters (48.03 inches) and was fitted into tiny space puzzlingly left between a pre-war house and a modern apartment block of the 1960s in downtown Warsaw. It is named after Etgar Keret, an Israeli writer of Polish roots who will be the first inhabitant of this artistic project of aluminum and polycarbonate. Photo: Alik Keplicz / AP”
This guy was ambling across the bricks yesterday. It turns into a very plain moth, with subtle colors. None of this pizzazz in the flying version.
This is really a nice home and story, of Melissa moving out of a large condo into a 500 sq.ft. home that had belonged to her grandparents.
