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

Funny, I keep asking myself the same question!  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! at least that is the excuse I have used on my DH for the last 27 years.

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.

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?
