In response to our DIY Movie Making theme, Derek “Deek” Diedricksen sent us this first episode of Tiny Yellow Houses, a series he’s doing on backyard shackitecture, this one featuring his “Hickshaw,” a movable small structure designed to be used as a backyard hang-out space/tiny office or festival sleeping space.
Derek also has a self-published, hand-drawn book of his wacky, whimsical backyard structures, called Humble Homes… You can order it on his blog, Relax Shacks.
More pics from the book after the jump.

I really enjoyed this. Cool projects, extremely good presentation, and good personality. Keep it up.
Loved the video!!
Yeah, “Deek” is a natural in front of the camera and should definitely do more of these vids.
Great video!
I love the information, and the presentation- looking forward to more episodes.
Yeah, you guys should totally hook this guy up. He is awesome on camera.
Will be watching again…
(Blush)- thanks so much Gareth(!) n’ Math- I really appreciate it, and the feedback on this little d.i.y. video has been surprisingly positive- esp. for something with a straight-wingin’ it narration approach, and where we never shot more than 2-3 takes (if even that- most were one takes as we didn’t have much time to mess around).
Anyway, subsequent shoots were going to take place in Mid-april, but I just talked to Steve Sherrick from Obscure Knowledge Productions (http://www.obscureknowledge.com ) and he has a window back from vegas in March- so we might get crackin’ on two more episodes sooner than later….
Again- thanks so much!

And author of “Humble Homes…”
The video is much easier to follow than the cartoons. At least for me. But I LOVE the ideas!
