Derick Diedricksen is my hero. He is a tiny house legend

Being able to watch rain and gaze at the stars is absolutely wonderful 🌸

Nice to see people using Deek’s designs!

Thank you Kirsten i love these and the tiny movement.

This tour is all-around enjoyable. The couple is fun, relaxed in their own space(s!), and they are adventurous. Korea and back, yearly. Build something basic and useful, yearly. The A-frame tinys are perfect for picnics, playhouses and sleepovers for kids or adult friends. Just sweet. Hope they are still well and happy! Ty, Kirsten & Mat. Blessings!

Deek was the 1st thing that came to my mind when I saw the thumbnail for this video. Always good to see someone who's been inspired by his efforts. He's a cool cat 🤘

I love this, love the different cabins you did beautiful job

totally love you both! I love that you probably use compost potty or catholes and never think about ruining the landscape with something huge and gawdy. Kudos to you, you are living my dream!

Wow, I've never heard so many negative comments. It's small, simple, cheap and fun. I love the property and the cabins! Thanks.

I know...it's like one negative comment, and they all come out of the woodwork to support it. So to speak, of course!

And when they have to clean the beds cause of the dust and dirt or their dishes they just pop it over to the other property on the land. its very convenient and cute, love how simple it is!

Your video is amazing!! after hundreds of builds myself I can tell you that your outlook on life and your attitude toward your builds is incredible!!!... please don't pay attention to the people that call you out on the "missing" or "small" stuff... you have a gift.... for both of you (as a couple) for choosing the correct "employment" to give you the time to do this as well as the hand skills to allow you both to make these projects come true... if anything I am jealous... ROCK ON!!!. and enjoy your life ... don't deviate from your course!! Cheers ... Droop

Good job Kirsten Dirksen, keep up the good work!

Thank you Kirsten for continuously bringing these very cool people to us. The ingenuity, the design, the passion... Very inspiring.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and content and I want to build the 1st and 3rd structure shown! Fantastic content! Thank you for providing.

looking the landscape around micro home convince any1 to live in such tight spaces ......love the view & projects

Im a 65 yr old woman and I feel like I want the third one you showcased. I LOVE IT!! Knee-high.. I think I could do that. Surprise the young people in my family. I could do that in my back yard.

Love being out in the woods like that. So wonderful. I actually live where you go to bed when it gets dark and wake up when it gets light, anyway, so don't need electricity, and if I don't have to go to a store, I'm a happy girl. Thanks for these great examples of lovely living.

Thank you. I am a 62 yr old woman, after being widowed, then taking an early retirement, I have for the last 15 years been around and in the refurbishing construction ...learning learning and more learning... I have been looking at property in the Ozarks of AR and MO. {years ago I lived in Anaconda and worked in timeshare at the Hotsprngs, loved MT, but it too is too expensive now} AR & MO... the building codes are quite lax. The hardest part is making the final decision to just go!! I am 5th generation of a California I no longer can afford, nor do I believe in any more! Your presentation has given me options in building while building to remain...thank you

We're in the same boat. Moving to Texas where there are no building codes! I can see these as a little airbnb campground in one corner of the property. Guest houses for when the family visits. Once you find your land you could build one to live in and one to rent. Oh, the possibilities when you think outside the mortgage box!

This video came out on my birthday a couple years back but I just had to watch it again. It's not so much about the developing of tiny spaces as it is the outstanding attitude this couple has! The thought behind the spaces they live in, the resources they use and working with the weather is exactly where we all need to be right now. And Deek's plans, of course! I really love this kind of video, thanks again Kirsten & Co. I wonder if this couple would be willing to film a video on these principals while living in Korea? It's such a great place as well.

Kristen, Once again a stunning video. The sounds, the picture quality and drone shots....just amazing. This was really an inspiring video. The views of Montana make my heart soar. Much happiness to Alla and Garrett~

We have a polycarbonate roof on our front porch and it finally collapsed after our gutters failed do to a hail storm. But 30+ years can’t complain.

This must be a good couple because they build things together. It's like marriage therapy. Like every house that you made.

I knew it was Deek's!

This is gorgeous land!!! Love the manual mechanics! If I was ever in Missoula, this would be my Air B&B choice!

Love this post. I am torn on A-Frame or Yurt for some land I own and have been thinking of doing two as just cabin but also for possible Airbnb. Keep posting these A-frames 👍🏼

Nice cabins, I really like how simple and great they all look and work.

One mice deterrent is to make sure you clear the space of mice and then surround the place with mint plants and put peppermint oil on cotton balls throughout the interior. In some places mint really takes off which might help in their situation.

I really liked the 1st a frame until I saw the other one with the knee wall! Gives me an idea for a build in the back corner of the property which is on a slope & I can incorporate a deck for outdoor living. It's going to be part potting shed, part art studio & part chillaxin place!

Thank you Kirsten for Sharing this magnificent video. I'm planning (dream) to build a tree house on a coffee plantation mountain in Nicaragua. The rat race is everywhere, and our connection with Nature is no longer a readily available option. Greetings from the highly density Washington suburbs.

I love them both! I want to build one of them now

Interesting a frame.... There is an amazing house in Normandy FR you should check out, designed by an architect called Jean-Baptiste Barache. It’s also an a frame design but much bigger, yet the cost of the build was surprisingly low relatively speaking. You’ll understand why if you research or see it.

This would be great as an off grid cabin. Upgrade it as you like. Add screens for bugs. Shade. Outdoor potty. Bring a solar cooler for water and food. Enjoy the simple life.

Looks great!

So excellent, thanks!

Very inspiring, indeed! Even for those who don't feel confident of their building skills. To hear them describe their step by step journey, really puts these possibilities into perspective. P.S. We must remember, though, that such minimalism is only possible if we can rely on others-- who are NOT minimalists-- for the tools, or materials, needed to create and support these little spaces. These are not truly independent, self-sustaining living environments. Just little oases, for short term enjoyment. Without access to regular replenishment of water, misc. power sources, food, tools, reliable transportation, etc., such places can't provide much to their occupants. Notice there was no mention of toileting or bathing functions; or if the water is accessible from the big barn on the property, or from one of the other dwellings on the family compound. There is much that we need to make our modern lives work (albeit less than most of us can admit), and I continue to observe how seldom it is discussed that, in order to live minimally, we must have access to civilization that can provide our 'just-in-time' needs very quickly, so we don't have to stock up and be prepared for shortages, or catastrophic changes that interfere with easy access to those needed supplies. So, I think it's an important part of the analysis: what are the risks and the trade offs to each lifestyle choice we make? And what emergency plans do we have in place?

Thnx! Great motivation video)) Cool people

I like the first A-frame very much, but question the longevity of the stumps that support the platform. Having unsealed end-grain exposed to the weather, I'd give it 5 years max. Shore it up and put in some cement or stone footings. Absolutely LOVE the counter top in the second tiny house. Like the openness of third tiny house, but think both A-frames might benefit from judicious use of insect screening! I know it's all a work in progress, what you have done is impressive, and I thank you for posting!

Linda, it depends a lot on the wood. My father used rounds of creosote- coated telephone poles as piers for a 16 × 20 lofted horse barn. It was sound for 20 years, ok for storage for several more. Dad regretted he didn't put anything down for a pad; it could still be standing!

August 2019 Deek (Diedreksen?) is funny (ignore his locker room humor) it probably keeps him going interviewing so many people and attending so many workshops and conventions about Tiny House living. His channel is 'relaxshacks,' or a similar name. His best interview is of an older cancer survivor, who had had her drawings displayed in elite museums. She is using her Tiny House as an education tool.

Lots of sunny spots around the structure. With a little work, they wouldn't have to walk more than 40 feet for most meals.

Kristin you rock

Put a retractable awning on the 2 horizontal beams if you want it cooler.

One of the coolest house
