Note from Deek: I actually don’t want to part with this so much, but my yard is so small, and I need to make way for a few new micro-architecture projects I’m working on (houseboat, tiny house on wheels), and another one or two that I’d like to start soon. The money from this sale will be channeled directly into those projects. It also took an insanely long time to build this, and more so find the needed materials, one piece at a time, so I think the price is far more than fair, considering. Its plenty sturdy, and has held up through three harsh winters now just fine.
Overview:
This little cabin was built by Derek “Deek” Diedricksen for his “Tiny Yellow House” Program- Deek is now a host for The DIY Network, and runs the small living blog Relaxshacks.com.
This little garden pod/micro cabin has been featured on the cover of the NY Times Home and Garden section, The Seattle times, Boston Globe, UK Daily News, and more. Tv-wise, it has appeared on CBS, The History Channel, ABC, and a ton of online programs from Spaces TV, to Yahoo.com (on their homepage!).
The “Gypsy Junker” (it loosely resembles a gypsy wagon and is made from a slew of recycled materials) is approximately 30-32 square feet, with a sleep platform that doubles as a bed. It was featured in the builder/author’s book “Humble Homes, Simple Shacks”.
While it does have wheels, you WILL need a flatbed trailer (5′ wide at least) to move this, or it would be much easier to hire a flat bed tow truck (prob $150-$200 fee).
The interior art and furnishings do not come with it.

Love so many of these listings but have to ask. Why the super wide angle lenses on all of these? They do not enhance the look of the space because they are so distorted. As a viewer and prospective buyer, I would much rather see the property as it really looks. We know they are small spaces so why use the same camera tricks that traditional property listings use? Just curious as it seems to be common across so many of these listings.

I’m just guessing, but I wonder if the wide angle isn’t a trick but rather the only way to get that small a space in the photo? I’m no photography expert, so I don’t even know if that makes sense…
How do you get into this cabin?

you’re exactly right, in very small spaces there is no way to photo an interior with a regular lens……you’d only end up seeing such a small portion of it. Thats the only reason.

I agree. I get sick of trying to figure out what the home really looks like with the distorted view. I too would like to just see it how it is. Its hard enough to picture in 3D without the distortion to confuse us even more. Please just take “normal” photos if you are posting online. If the whole thing won’t fit in the photo, then either use a panoramic shot, or else take mutliple shots in order, showing something (as a landmark) as you take each picture around the parameter of the room. Ie, end of couch is on the right, but next shot it is on the left and now includes the lamp and chair on the floor next to it, next shot shows the same chair and dining table next to it, etc. Do that until the whole room has been taken in mutliple shots instead of 1 distorted shot. Also helpful is a floor plan, whether official copy or one drawn up by hand with approx dimensions and placement of things. This is VERY helpful to include in listings. Thanks.

…..there are THREE tour videos attached to this that I thought would be “above and beyond”…..also, I do not own a panoramic camera. Sorry to anger you so. Good points, but a regular lens will not capture this, its very small…take care

I am interested but would need to get it to Colorado and was wondering if you could give me an estimate of the cost and names/websites of some services that could do this.

FYI, “gypsy” is a derogatory term for the Romani people. Please consider that when naming your little shacks in the future. And, honestly, cultural appropriation aside, this shed does not resemble a vardo in any way.
