Publisher Description From the publishers of a popular series of building books comes Small Homes, which is highly relevant for these times. Getting smaller, rather than larger. Some 75 builders share their knowledge of building and design, with artistic, practical, and/or economical homes in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, France, Germany, Spain, New Zealand and Lithuania.This is the seventh in a series of highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. Author Biography Lloyd Kahn started building more than 50 years ago and has lived in a self-built home ever since. If hed been able to buy a wonderful, old, good-feeling house, he might have never started building. But it was always cheaper to build than to buy, and by building himself, he could design what he wanted and use materials that he wanted to live with.Lloyd set off to learn the art of building in 1960. He liked the whole process immensely. Ideally hed have worked with a master carpenter long enough to learn the basics, but there was never time. He learned from friends and books and by blundering his way into a process that required a certain amount of competence. His perspective was that of a novice, a homeowner, rather than a pro. As he learned, he felt that he could tell others how to build-or at least get them started on the path to creating their own homes.Through the years, hes personally gone from post and beam to geodesic domes to stud-frame construction. Its been a constant learning process, and this has led him into investigating many methods of construction. For five years in the late 60s to early 70s, he built geodesic domes. He got into book publishing by producing Domebook One in 1970 and Domebook 2 in 1971.He gave up on domes (as homes) and published his companys namesake Shelter in 1973. Since then, Shelter Publications has produced books on a variety of subjects and returned to its roots with Home Work in 2004, The Barefoot Architect and Builders of the Pacific Coast in 2008, Tiny Homes in 2012, and more.Building is Lloyds favorite subject. Even in this day and age, building a house with ones own hands can save a ton of money and-if you follow it through-you can get what you want in a home.
