“As a continuation of Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter, author Lloyd Kahn (former Shelter editor of Whole Earth Catalog) brings us Tiny Homes on the Move, which showcases 90 nomadic homes made from trailers, school buses, vans, trucks, boats, and even a tricycle. Each entry includes an essay by or about the home’s creator, who talks about why and how they converted a vehicle into a house. Each dweller has a unique story…”
The Tiny Homes on the Move book got a pretty nice review over at BoingBoing.
Hi, Lloyd,
I wanted to send this link along, in case you wanted to share it with your blog readers — it’s a series of pictures of a three-room 1930s Forest Service Cabin in Northern California, along the Feather River up near the Lassen National Park’s volcanos.
Wonderful spot — propane lights, gravity feed water, and lots of trees.
Pictures here: please feel free to use any you see fit. (You’ve been kind enough to link to the site before.)

Keep up the great work! We’ve got all your books, and can’t wait for the next. Really enjoyed hearing you talk in Santa Cruz, not so long ago.

We featured these cabins about a month ago and have repeatedly had requests for some more photos including interior shots. Here are some more shots as well as some info on the builder.

Lloyd,
Just want to share with you a new house I built in Haena, Kauai. It’s 200 sq. feet.

Dear Shelter,
I’ve been really inspired by your books. These are a few cabins I’ve been helping to build over the last year. Looking forward to the next book.
Thanks,

Hi Lloyd,
I have just made another little film about my Dad and the building which was featured in your book Tiny Homes — “Big Sky Yurt” (pp. 130-31).
It’s much shorter than the last one and gone down a storm with lots of tiny house lovers.
Hi Lloyd,
I am 17 years old and currently living in the UK. I have just filmed and produced my first ever short film. It is about my dad (Scott Evans) who you featured in your last book, Tiny Homes.
Hope you enjoy it and good luck with the new book.
