The little mini-cabin/portable sleeper featured in Episode #1 of “Tiny Yellow House” is for sale…(And scroll further down to watch a video showing 100 or so pages of my tiny housing book!)

Interior of The Hickshaw (as seen on "Tiny Yellow House" TV)

$1500.00- all cedar, tuftex roofing, on wheels, etc…. the video has seen over TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND views now- on that little cabin alone. You’d have to pick it up- and it will fit into ANY truck bed easily…

All in all, as I’m working on two NEW structures/designs, I need to clear some space out of my backyard….and the funds from the sale will help cover materials for my new creations (to be featured in future episodes), AND for the eventual printing of my NEXT micro-housing book….

Heck, you purchase the “Hickshaw” and I just might have to name/dedicate the next cabin after YOU….

As for my book, and other info, etc- Again, see the next post below…

THANKS FOR SUPPORTING 100% INDEPENDENT ARTISTS….

After the NPR segment on myself and Peter King, I’ve received a ton of emails asking if its possible to see the interior (more) of the book “Humble Homes, Simple Shacks…” before buying it….understandably so….

Disclaimer- this is NOT one of my “Tiny Yellow House” youtube videos/shows….I’ll explain below…

If you’re looking to save yourself time- FAST FORWARD until the 2:14 mark in the video….

By the way, the book is a 100% independent, hand assembled, limited run, so if you want a copy, act now, as they’re certainly moving fast from the NPR exposure. I’ll sign ’em all too- if you’d like, but that could very well lessen the book’s value!

 So, here you go- this video stinks- its me in my basement, with a handheld flip camera, bad-lighting, and I look like I pulled an all-nighter, but after you duke it out through my 1 minute intro of blathering- you’ll get to see a good 100 or so pages of book, as I flip through it and yack some more… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL957prJfPA

As for the other NPR-interview related info- check the recent blog below this entry…. and some real cool stained glass dome house pictures coming soon!

AND check out my REAL episodes of “Tiny Yellow House” here…

Above: A recent “Tiny Yellow House” TV shoot on a Vermont Cabin built by myself and Dustin Diedricksen (my brother). We’re still in need of a few small advertisers to help us back/fund the editing and completion of this show….scroll down for more info on that, and for an interior shot of the cabin….

AND….Here’s a recap of recent happenings, for those just joining us- and MEGA-thanks to Jon Kalish from NPR for the interview/feature! Airs Sunday morning….June 27th

First off, for those who’d be kind enough to support a 100% independent artist/author, my book “Humble Homes…” can be ordered from the lefthand column… $18.95 (free shipping)

My kid’s book “Williker Wumbly”- more so a tongue-twisting, physical challenge is also available (and in its 2nd small printing now)…$8.95 (free shipping).

My new tune “Anklelock”- featuring the vocals of Gary Cherone of Extreme/Van Halen fame, is now up for download, if bored… $0.99 It was written by myself and Bill Bracken (both of us from http://myspace.com/ageisrage) The tune can be heard/found/downloaded here- again 100% indie!  http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/anklelock-comin-to-get-you/id374549532

AND…before I bore you to death, and then we’ll get back to tiny housing and my other in-the-works building projects in subsequent entries….

Photos by Bruce Bettis- Here's an interior shot from an upcoming D.I.Y. VT Cabin episode of "Tiny Yellow House" TV (advertisers needed...)

   Tiny Yellow House TV (which I host, direct, produce) is in need of a few small sponsors/advertisers. You’ll reach tens of thousands of people in return- and your logo/ad will be up forever (IN THE SHOW!)…unlike dead-after-one-month print ads. Companies, anonymous backers, individual backers, etc- all are welcome for inclusion in these upcoming episodes…cheap! Episodes are filmed on a Sony HD red camera….state of the art! Here’s a few of the shows we’re working on right now…

      -Inteview Show with Jay Shafer of The Tiny Tumbleweed House Company…

     -A feature on the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont, and my Vermont cabin (plus an underground house in Coventry, VT)

    -A solar cooking feature testing a few ovens bought from http://www.solarovens.net and a home-rig I built….

   -And one smaller budgeted show based on a unique, old, marsh-locked cottage in Connecticut (being filmed VERY soon!)

   you can email me at kidcedar@gmail.com for ad-package inquiries….some starting as low as $150.00 for your company.
