Product ReviewsHumble Homes, Simple Shacks, Cozy Cottages, Ramshackle Retreats, Funky Forts : And Whatever the Heck Else We Could Squeeze in Here by Derek Diedricksen (2012, Trade Paperback)

Don't buy, it's not a real book. No more than a child joke.

Before buy ask yourself why they dont show any interior pages to see.
It is not a book, it's a simple comic with a bad sense of humour and the "ideas" are no more than a children ones.

"Humble Homes, Simple Shacks," an Inspiration in Micro-Structures

This book is an absolute gem! While the "plans" within its pages are simple, the ideas are truly inspirational. A zany, off-the-wall collection of unique and artistic micro-structures, "Humble Homes, Simple Shacks..." is a must-read for anyone fascinated by this small (what else could it be) niche in the building world. The author, Deek's passion for micro-structures really jumps off the page in this beautifully rendered cornucopia of inspirational "day dream" building plans, that include many more realistic plans that have actually been constructed by the author himself. A wonderful book that comes highly recommended; a must-own!Read full review...

Great Minds Think Alike!

This book just feeds my curiosity. I have always had to fascination with tiny spaces. I once rented a tiny house that was made from a Shed and it was perfect for me and my cat.

No how to build and the drawings are so crazy it's unreal. Probably better to watch his how to's on YouTube.

Waste of time and money

I bought this thinking it would be full of ideas, of houses that people had already built. People are ingenious when they are faced with problems. This is filled with a lot of non-sense. Mostly filled with things I can't see using ever! Kind of wish I hadn't bought it. The best part of the book is the pictures in the middle... the rest of it is a waste of time.Read full review...

A very fun and informationally loaded book- tiny spaces on a budget

A very unconventional book, with some wild ideas- and LOTS of them. Lots of recycled material-constuction ideas that'll save you quite a bit of money too. Some cool color photos, tiny houses, and shelters in the color photo insert too.Read full review...
