Short little video on Lloyd Kahn and his owner-built house (now 30 years old).

Funny, I keep asking myself the same question!  d* I saw the video on the tiny house blog today (terrific site) and finally gave into temptation and ordered all three of his books. I have checked two of his out of the library so many times it's silly and now this new library doesn't carry them. It seemed like a good idea at the time! ;D at least that is the excuse I have used on my DH for the last 27 years.

Exactly :)  [cool]

Anyone else having troubles with the video. I get colored streaks and the audio in both Chrome and Firefox. Evcery so often a few frames come through in the clear, then it goes weird again. I haven't bothered trying IE or another computer.   ???

Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

Don:

The above link runs fine (and full screen) for me on my Firefox browser. See if this alternative link works better for you.

No luck on that or with IE 8 or IE9 beta

?   Worked for me - Vista Home Premium with IE8 . . .    Maybe a video driver conflict. (?)

Love that video, It was everywhere this week! Even though it's a year old. I saw it somewhere this week then posted it on my blog, next day it was on TinyHouse blog then Relax Shack's blog then I saw it here. Lloyd Kahn also has a very active blog and Facebook page. He puts out a few interesting links a day. Great for day dreaming.

Lloyd has mastered the web. He combines a good writer, photographer, and story teller in a crusty good-looking package of the aging daredevil athlete/builder.

How can that NOT get good face time?
