Drip Cap WM-197 11/16 x 1 5/8 YOU GUYS ARE DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB!!! I would have you google image the drip cap WM-197 (WM standing for wood molding) on sills and drip caps, there is a relief kerf on the bottoms so water actually has a place to stop and "drip" off to the wood, I would encourage you to look into this with your lumber yard for your next project. I love you folks, I smile from ear to ear every video!

Hi Guys, I have spent many hours watching your channel/vids. I'm going to say, I am impressed. All the hard work, detail and effort has shown me your not short cutting on what your doing. I see things done that could of been done in another manner, but when it has got this far along, I see my thoughts were unfounded, your efforts are maximum +++...I can't wait to see what you do interior wise. I subscribed tonight, thought I did last week. Keep the good going, Thank You for all the good thus far !!

Brent Whitney We considered things like this, especially if we wanted to add a mini-gutter, it could serve a dual-purpose. We had something like 3 inches of snow this entire winter, so that shouldn't be a big concern... but we will keep an eye on it and reinforce if it starts to sag too much.

As always great videos. I have 2 questions though that have been bothering me. Considering your attention to detail you probably have a reason though. 1. Why did you slope your roof so much? The only reason I can think of is to shed rain quickly and to shed snow to prevent the snow load from overwhelming your roof framing. However for such a short span snow load will be minimal and the snow would shed from a lesser angle especially considering the metal roofing as opposed to shingles. Rain will also shed with a much smaller angle. I would have thought you would prefer the added head room in the loft that a shallower roof pitch would have provided. 2. Why did you use the short side of the building as the front? In the case of rain it will now make entering and exiting unpleasant. Even with the awning in this video all you have done is move the rain curtain out a few feet from the door. It will also ensure that the rain will now turn the front of your tiny home into a quagmire as opposed to the back side. If you had used the tall side as the front then rain would be a minimal issue. Was it purely aesthetics that was your concern? I think the high side would have still provided a beautiful front view. I do not intend this as a criticism. I am merely curious about your reasoning. As an aside; I am not sure where you are and how cold it gets there. i am from Northern Ontario where rain freezing on a metal roof happens often. Certain conditions can cause the ice to then shed off of the roof in large sheets. This is hazardous to people and damaging to anything underneath (parked vehicles, patio furniture...). To combat this (if it is a consideration at your location), you can install small vertical wedges at the bottom of each roof channel (the space between each standing seam connection). They are usually made out of sheet metal and are easy to install. Here are some plastic ones for sale (ignore this if not applicable to your area). snowbreaker.com/

1. Having never installed roofing before, we tried to go with the simplest install. Our research into this basic metal roofing suggested that the shallowest slope you should do is 12:3. Shallower than that could create the conditions for a snow/ice dam to allow water to spill over the interlocking barrier, or mean that you might need a different roofing system altogether... even if this info is not entirely accurate, we decided to stick with the simplest approach and use the most standard materials. This is also why we didn't even consider a skylight... too much to take on for our first DIY install. 2. We don't have quite as solid an answer for this one. It has proven to be an extra issue that we have to deal with. We're planning on making a simple gutter before the fall, to mitigate the frontal runoff. It definitely looks nicer to see the roof from the front... if you've seen the h0me model by tinyhousebuild, the exterior aesthetic is not preferable in our opinion. A few other considerations are which way the house will be towed, where it will be parked, and which side you want the door on... we knew exactly where we wanted to park it on the property before we started to design, so that definitely lead us in the direction we ended up. From our limited towing experience, it's definitely worth having the high-side of a shed-roof on the left side... the opposite side from the curb... because of tree branches. Ultimately, we might have been able to mirror the design, but the position of the fenders would not have lined up with the bathrooms... it was kind of an impossible task to satisfy all of these parameters without compromise, so we will just build that gutter! lol We appreciate all feedback and well-intended criticism :) Thanks for the link, this is a great tip and an important consideration depending on your climate. Climate must of course be a primary drive for any design. We're on Vancouver Island where it rains a LOT but rarely gets very cold... nothing like Ontario... so we don't have to deal with that kind of ice issue. Cheers

I was thinking through out the video that the tongue and groove should have run the other way to shed water. But you don't really want the water to drain straight off onto anyone approaching the door (as it stands the best way to approach the door when it is raining is from the side). Since you really can't see the boards at that angle, I would suggest you at some point replace this with a solid sheet of something that wouldn't accumulate water between the boards and that would be lighter. If the material was wider than the supports so that it would bow up, it would even shed water to the side. Otherwise you could put an angle-iron at the bottom edge to divert water to the sides.

MakeMeThinkAgain Nice suggestions :) we have considered adding a mini-gutter in the future if we find that the runoff is strong, but we're actually not sure what kind of porch we will have or from what direction we will tend to approach from.

Very nice! I'm considering something similar, but with leftover corrugated metal sheets from my roof. I have a 10' x 3' piece that I would cut in half to make it 5' long by 6' wide. I'm just wondering if it would be too heavy though for a similar attachment method that you have with the bolts and angle iron, as I would need plywood or OSB (probably sealed somehow on the underside), then wood supports for the plywood (to accept the depth of the #9 metal roofing screws), then the roofing underlayment, and then the metal roof. I know you used a different material, but any suggestions, thoughts, or comments on my proposed materials would be appreciated. Thanks!

I was thinking of something similar, but to span the whole side(s) of the house. But I live in a warmer climate and shade helps to keep things cool. It might have been better to bolt a 2x6 to the side of the house and mount the awning to the 2x6.

Is there a reason you didn't opt for a traditional roll out awning? I would think it would reduce the weight and overall workload of removing/reinstalling (ladders, holding, wrenches, etc). Personally I'm going simple with a waterproof canvas sheet setup on hooks because I don't need the permanence and I'm looking to reduce cost/weight. But I've considered both commercially available and hand-built wood options. Just curious on your selection.

We looked into RV style awnings and they are not cheap, plus they are a pretty big commitment to attach to the side of the house (would look out of place because we didn't plan for one). It's rare that we have to remove the awning, and in fact, have not removed it since we did a metal/polycarbonate rebuild. We also have plans for a deck in the future which will have its own cover. I think the roll-out awning would have been a great choice if we planned for it from the start, so it's something to consider early on during the design phase.

This is a very fundamental question when it comes to tiny houses. The best way I can explain it is that a tiny house has all the benefits of a standard house, a mobile home, and an RV. It's much more robust and insulated than an RV, can be deployed like a mobile home, and can be designed to have fully functional spaces like a standard house.

Evilroots It might be an inch or two wider and taller than the regulations (8.5 feet wide, 13.5 feet tall). We designed it to fit within the limits, but the roof sticks out an extra inch here and there beyond what we modeled in sketchup. We're hoping it will settle an inch or two on the suspension, and then an authority would really have to bust our the measuring tape and be out to get us :P
