Big Guy in a TINY HOUSE- Deek's Half A-Frame Cabin "The Dart"

Having initially built the original prototype for this cabin (for the sake of creating its plans) in 2015/2016 or so in North Carolina, its nice to see a few of these builds now surfacing. There was one that was built in tree house form a year or two ago, and this one, from Neil of "Big Guy In A Tiny House" (be sure to subscribe to his channel which I linked below!). "The Dart" (plans linked below) is a slight visual and spatial spin on a traditional a-frame in that its basically an "A" chopped in half- but one in this case with a small loft that snuggly sleeps two and a bump out space that one could use as a closet or bathroom. Overall, as compared to many builds, its fairly affordable to build, definitely has that tiny house feel, and could make for a great hobby space (she shed or man cave), or a guest airbnb or hipcamp glamping rental for extra income. That said, check out Neil's take on "The Dart"- one we particularly loved as it includes some hidden floor storage, space for a woodstove, AND..... its on wheels!

So,,, glad someone finished or almost finished that half A-frame idea! Nice job!🤔😉

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

More to come down the road. Others have built it, but I just haven't gotten a video share or anything from 'em.... working on it. Neil did an awesome job with this one though!

[@mr.somebody1493]

Great collaboration.

[@Gevedon]

Beautiful design, thanks for sharing this, Big Guy! Derek you're the best!

[@Gevedon]

Stupid autocorrect, Deek you're the best!

[@jeanmartin6410]

I love your philosophy! Your tiny house isn’t bad either!

[@secretmuse420]

Awesome video man. I love the philosophy of always having a home project to distract us from the chaos of the outside world 🤙🏽

[@TatyanaValdaBelindaHill]

Oh my gosh, so cute! ❤

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

Love this guy! Great build- very cool design!

[@rolandmogle9671]

What an amazing little cabin ! It is really impressive all the different variations of deeks designs I have seen , each one is very unique and creative. I cannot wait to build mine and hope to get it on his channel . One aspect of your build that I really liked is the ability to bolt and move your cabin . Love the deek and all the builds !

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

If you build one definitely reach out and let me know (through FB- prob the easier way to reach me)- best with all!

[@rolandmogle9671]

I really need to get to one of your work shops sooner than later . Work , life and crazy inexplicable crap going on seems to be getting in the way . Your a cool dude I like and respect all your work !

[@gingerjolley9027]

Love the deep floor, gonna use that one....

"Floorage"

[@susannebemis3311]

very nice

[@gabriellafarella2926]

Piccola ma Grandiosa idea...👍

[@cindyboard7816]

Love the cabin!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@RyanDuffy]

Thanks for the share. Not quite Deek but still showing off his designs. I definitely miss the mix of RelaxShack videos that used to be part of my regular KZbin feed

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

We have some coming- don't you worry. And thanks for the kind words.

[@jfederle1872]

Nice! I like seeing your ideas translated to an actual structure🌺 very cool

[@victordrake3082]

Très intéressant 😊 Les couleurs sont belles .😊Bravo pour cette vidéo . Du Québec , merci ☺

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

I like the dart, but it gave me a different idea of making a longer than normal A frame and making the front tenish feet only half A frame to use the other half as front porch, and then doing same thing for back porch on the back end, so that from the top it would look like a Tetris piece….. Problem is, my properties already all have planned structures (and each with a theme that wouldn’t match-one Alaska property all my cabins look like ancient Japanese structures, the other Alaska property I want to build a Viking Longhouse with vertical logs, so I don’t have to worry about log shrinkage like when using horizontal).

[@cherylmartin4050]

Cool just the right size

[@chrisstrathy2366]

FUN

[@peppacorcoran1314]

Love it! WHAT WAS COST?

[@dianeclemmer1344]

Did you finish the floor? Is that why it's covered?

[@oguzhandmr4146]

A-Frame/2

[@AngellicaBeauty]

I can't find his channel in all of your links and a search just brought up this video, not his channel.

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Its one of the top links in the description....

[@redsareus]

I don't have the screen presence or narration skills of Deek or you sir, but you mentioned that you haven't found anything like it on-line... well here's mine that I built on back deck in Alaska. (I also acknowledged Deek and his website for the inspiration - Thanks!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5vLaqewd8uWadk

[@DNLDVID]

You know what is frustrating? A video talking about how a person built a tiny house & then not showing a full tour of it, just flashes of it! I realize you are not finished, but those of us looking for examples are disappointed by the teasers! You can still get viewers to follow you after a short tour because of our interest in Tiny Homes.

[@AngellicaBeauty]

Agreed. And no links provided so we can see the rest of the build.

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

Go to his channel- its linked and mentioned four different times in the video.....

[@relaxshacksDOTcom]

There isn't much to show yet- this was to provide info for those possibly building it- so they could see more on HOW it was framed and done.... there will be a follow-up

[@delorisfrench]

Right!! I was like uh....are you gonna show us?!

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

@@delorisfrench if you read the vid description then you see the link for his channel that he tells you to go to several times in this vid.

[@delorisfrench]

That design looks a little wonky!
