Tiny houses' polymath: tinker, lyricist, carpenter, cartoonist

[kremzupa_]

Kirsten, I 've been watching many of your videos lately, and have been following your channel for a few years now. The thing that stands out is that homeowners are shown as personalities, it's not just about the house, or its design. This documentary-style video you make for us is truly to be appreciated. They aren't fast, bright or filled with music, which gives us the chance to really soak in the details and atmosphere. I enjoy your work and what you bring to this world. Thank you from your viewer in Latvia!

He is probably a select few that truly understands and lives HIS life at the fullest. Real inspiration that guy. Thats what I call an Intelligent man.

❣Half way into this I realized his way of building is how birds build their nests and how beavers build their houses...and this makes me smile and feel warm all over. ❣ Thank you for another wonderful episode, Kirsten. 💕

Look how long ago this was filmed... Ms. Kirsten is so before our times... We are very fortunate indeed...

Deek is awesome! I've been watching his channel for a long time now. I'm glad you did an extended episode for him. He deserves it.

Derek DEEKS ~ I am saving this to show my Grandson JonJon. He is nine years old. A few years ago he literally built a shack' from pallets, furnished it. It has been torn down now, but I would like him to see that he is talented and that he can continue to be creative this way. [I, too, am a secret architect geek - still creative but past my prime]. I have been trolling the internet and xfinity for a few years now, for tiny living spaces ideas. Your work is genius.

I so appreciate how he recycles and makes usable structures.

Deke goes beyond genius. One of the coolest people on the internet!

I hope Deek reads still here.  I find it so wonderful that whole video, and in all of his own videos, his eyes are positively smiling.  I could see how his wife would get a little annoyed with having him a million projects on the go, but that's life with a creative mind!  And really, his personality is so endearing, how could you not love the guy!  I also loved how he encourages his kids to build their own projects... no "bubble wrapped kids" there!  Have you ever considered teaching kids?  I bet you'd be really encouraging of their creative visions.  Keep going, Deek!  I wish I had your brain!

Most inspiring best 44+ minutes spent in a long time.

Dude, I don't think you realize what a genius you are.
I wish you a long and happy life.
Take care, stay safe

Deek. You are like laughter in a bottle. EVERY time I watch you or listen to you, I have to giggle. It's just pure glee, man.   We are all so lucky to know you. The world is a better place cuz o' you.  Hammer away. 

[antinsanwo]

[vanievee]

he's so much fun to watch doing his dream job and living his life to the fullest haha interestingly different and crazy in so many good ways. somehow i feel envious. may you have more years to live and may there be more people of your kind.

[sotash]

This made me so ridiculously happy to watch. I want to be best friends with him and his family. Seriously. Such positive energy!

[DanKirchner]

God, finally a "tiny-house builder" who doesn't take himself so seriously..
Also [i must edit] the BEST ever designs in my opinion man  !

[dphotos]

Great personality. He should have a show on HGTV. Very creative nerd.

[TheWaxingTurtle]

As always, nice to see you Deek. I enjoyed seeing this side of you - how you build, your workshop, etc. Kirsten, I love your videos, they are always spot on, up to date and in the know. Thank you for sharing and caring!

[treehouseinparadise]

I have avoided Deek's videos because his high energy bothered me so much, but now I'm hooked.  Now, I get him and am so glad you posted this, Kirsten.

[lisarichards]

I'm a big Deek fan! I love that the kids are following in Dad's footsteps.
