If you frequent Derek Diedricksen’s blog RelaxShax you might already know about our day over in Matlacha, Florida doing some tiny house hunting (trying to make it sound manly). We found plenty of funky structures that we’ll both be sharing with you, and we filmed some video too.
Derek notified me that he and Peter King have been featured on NPR News this morning, great story and you can listen to it on audio.
The only thing tiny about the tiny house movement is the size of the houses themselves. There are a slew of websites devoted to the scene, and tiny house evangelists based in California and Vermont are busy traveling around North America helping people build these little homes.
“I’m just a freelance, insane guy working out of his backyard building stuff for people when the need arises,” says Derek Diedricksen, 33, a tiny house enthusiast who lives outside of Boston.
Derek Diedricksen is back with an unplanned episode of Tiny Yellow House. He shot this during his search for a tiny island in Maine. In this video you’ll get a tour of a cabin that was built in the earlier 1960s. You’ll even get to go inside and listen to the man who built it!
The lot was bought for $2,500 and the house was built for another $2,500. The cabin is 20 x 40 with the last 10 feet being bedrooms. They also have a porch that faces the water. Beautiful scenery here throughout. You will also see a recently built work shed on the property. Enjoy the video and thanks Derek!
In this fun episode of Tiny Yellow House Derek and his brother explore a lake in Maine in hopes of purchasing a tiny island. Read more at RelaxShacks and/or watch below.
Derek Diedricksen is back with another episode of Tiny Yellow House. In this episode, LIVE from a Fort, guitarist Bill Bracken joins him. You’ll hear them with the guitar and doumbek drum. Plus Derek will tell you a little about musical instruments for small spaces. Enjoy!
