If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This Old House meets Waynes World in this zany guide to designing and building tiny homes Derek Diedricksen has always had a love for small, modest houses ever since his father gave him the book Tiny Tiny Houses by Lester Walker for his tenth birthday. Combining his artistic abilities, wild imagination, and his passion for small houses, he self-published Humble Homes, Simple Shacks, Cozy Cottages, Ramshackle Retreats, Funky Forts, and Whatever the Heck Else we could Squeeze in Here in 2009. This book is a collection of Diedricksens creative/imaginative sketches for building small houses, shacks, cottages, and forts. The sketches are accompanied with hand-written commentary, both instructive and comical. Dereks main purpose is to get your creative juices flowing and encourage you to get off the couch and use your hands. Believing that specific building plans squash creativity, he avoids too many detailed instructions, giving you the chance to put your own creative spin on your very own small abode (even if it is just in your imagination).-- Read more...

Having toured the US a few times in the past, both in bands (Rochester, New Yorks Rail) and as a manager (Bostons Superkollider), he now plays drums in the tribute act Age Against the Machine (www.bostonrage.com), which doubles as the original act Any Given Enemy Theyve recorded and been involved with the WWE, ECW, the Cartoon Networks G.I. Joe, video games, indie movies, and have also contributed music for the Boston Bruins NHL flagship-station broadcasts.

In January of 2009, their recording of WWE wrestler Jack Swaggers arena and television entrance theme Get On Your Knees was selecte by Columbia Records to be part of the CD WWE: The Voices. Volume 9. The CD debuted at number eleven on the worldwide Billboard Top 200 charts. It also debuted as the number one selling CD soundtrack on the globe, and stayed in the charts for close to a month.

More recently in 2010, Derek, alongside songwriting partner Bill Bracken, wrote the lyrics and music to the arena theme Comin To Get You, which features the vocals of Gary Cherone, singer for Extreme and one-time Van Halen frontman.

Derek is now building new mini-structures for episodes of his TV/YouTube show Tiny Yellow House and working on new drawings for another microarchitecture design book.

He very seldom sleeps.

Derek is also an Eagle Scout (Madison, Connecticuts Troop 491) and credits the Scouts with helping along his love of the outdoors, camping, conservation, and carpentry. He comes from a large family of Scouts, as his cousins Neil and Kurt Malek also attained the Eagle rank, and his Brother Dustin achieved the rank of Life.

Derek currently lives about ten miles outside of downtown Boston in the small Massachusetts town of Stoughton with his wife, Elizabeth, and two children (plus one huge dog). He longs to move full-time to the woods of Vermont or Montana, where he would focus on growing his beard and losing his teeth.
