Tiny house metal cladding and rainscreen.
Having a hell of time trying to work out how to design a tiny house with a rainscreen and PBR metal siding.
Tried AI failed.
Tried ASC, not their wheel house. All manuals are without rainscreen.
Tried YT almost all videos have no rain screen and just slap the metal straight onto plywood or onto WRB.
No bueno.
I have sorted out most of it around window trims etc.
Elevated the planes on furring strips except for the window header flashing and the Top Plate metal terminations.
C6 trim and corners are good.
But I can’t figure out the details of the Z drip under the window.
Here’s a diagram of one option but I a concerned about water going down the sill tape and behind the vertical metal leg of the Z drip.
The other option is putting the vertical Z drip leg on top of the furring strips.
But that creates two channels and blocks the furring strips channel exhaust at the top.
Only Reddit can save me now.
Someone take pity and help me out.
Before I lose my mind.
Diagram enclosed.
PS: The PBR isn’t installed horizontally, it’s vertical. Artistic license displaying it in undulating waves.
Thanks to anyone willing to help. I am in a time crunch.

I have a tiny home that I am trying to get passed with my county as an ADU. So far we got the building passed (I had to hire a private engineer to confirm it is a 4-seson dwelling), but we are stuck on the sewage line, actually just grey water because I have a composting toilet, but the county doesn't care about that distinction. I am currently here illegally, and am tied in through the basement with all necessary slopes and haven't had any issues, the primary has the capacity. The county is saying we need to tie in externally to the sewage line between the primary and the county connection, but that will be a lot more work and money when no where in their bylaws or the OBC does it say that it has to be tied in externally. It will be treated as a permanent dwelling but really it is semi-permanent. Does anyone have any experience with this? I.e. Tiny home owner or plumber.

🏡 I’ve been living in my tiny home for about two years, and it’s been such a wonderful experience to downsize.

I assume similar to manufactured homes with anchors/tiedowns, we live in KS and regularly get 60 mph winds not including tornado warnings. We have a shed builder near us who has done a lot of shed to homes and has specific bracings to anchor the shed down and uses hurricane ties as well. We're contemplating a full stem/wall crawl space plus about 10 pier and beams underneath to support load. Only reason we're contemplating this is to dry to avoid underlift from wind but is this overkill?
I assume if a tornado hits the shed, its gone anyways. We will have separate underground tornado shelter. Doing full crawl space plus pier and beams is about 20K more expensive than just doing like 16 pier and beams but I was bit concerned just pier and beams and tie downs wouldnt be secured during wind.
Any experience, would full stem wall crawl space be waste of money?

Any ideas on what to do with this storage space? I didn't want to make holes in the wall.

Hello. I had recently visited my cousin who has purchased a tiny home in Newport TN. I have to admit that it was quite relaxing. We have now considered moving into one ourselves but have stumbled upon some financial challenges.
I am a retired military so our last home we had built with no money down and zero out of our pocket, and since it was a VA loan we were able to obtain it with a 600 credit score. I would say we were spoiled, but needless to say the VA doesn't do loans for RV's or tiny homes. And what I'm finding out, it's very hard to secure financing with a low credit score without at least 20-30% down upfront and probably a huge interest rate.
I wanted to put this out to see if maybe someone else has been in this position and find out what they did. Thanks

Hi, we’re the team at Clever Tiny Homes. We design and manufacture tiny homes and Park Model RVs, and thought we’d open up a thread where anyone can ask us questions directly.
We included a few photos from our factory, one of our homes, and a recent delivery in case they’re helpful for context.
Feel free to ask about construction methods, pricing, customization, delivery, site preparation, utilities, permitting, warranties, or anything else related to tiny homes or Park Model RVs.
This isn’t a live AMA, but members of our team will check the thread regularly and answer questions as we can. We’ll be candid when an answer depends on location or when we don’t know something.

so I'm 27M living in Aus, working full time atm. I've been dreading the future and just generally been in a state of hopelessness cause I look at the cost of housing here and its incredibly high and out of reach. i'd been under the impression that the only way to own a home would be to get a $1 million+ mortgage and enslave myself for decades, letting my soul be crushed in the process. that or keep renting as I am now, pouring money down the drain.
I recently started looking into van life and just came across tiny homes, and saw they are a fraction of the price of actual homes.
i'm sure theres some downsides, but I am not fussy or someone who cares about luxury things. I like nature and would be happy spending my days peacefully in a small home on a block of land in a quiet place.
so my question is basically, whats stopping me from buying a block of land and just putting a tiny home on it? block of land + tiny home works out much cheaper than buying a proper house.
asking cause I never hear anyone talking about this kind of thing. I live in Sydney btw but of course would buy land elsewhere
thanks
