“Derek “Deek” Diedricksen, on his west coast book tour for “Microshelters”, stayed in a different tiny house on every single night of his speaking tour and filmed EACH and EVERY house he stayed in. This, the “Alberta Modern Tiny House” was built by a school teacher for $17,000 in the Portland, Oregon area on weekends and summers, and used (he estimates) 80% recycled building materials. This tiny house has a full kitchen, bathroom, loft, and a spacious and naturally lit mini-living room.”
