Owner-builder and DIY types are almost certainly familiar with some of Lloyd Kahn’s books, chief among them Shelter, the original inspiration for many alternative builders back in the 1970s.  Since then Lloyd and co. have put out a number of other books, including Home Work, Tiny Homes: Simple Shelter, and perhaps my personal favorite, Builders of the Pacific Coast. Lloyd’s books continue to be a personal source of great ideas and motivation.

The Shelter Blog is the recently launched website in the same vein of those inspirational books, highlighting a variety of alternative and natural buildings, and homesteading and gardening goodness from across the internet. It’s fairly fresh yet, but I suspect this will be a site to keep a close eye on. Check it out.
