On the front of your building, your siding ends above the OSB floor, so there's potential for water to get into the ends of the OSB. One option would have been longer sheets of siding, though your local lumber yard might not have had it. Another thing you can do now is to add some metal flashing. For example, a 4" piece of aluminum flashing slid 2" under the siding, overlapping 2" down on the surface, that would be a great way to protect that area. You can cover it back up with the trim you're using right now.

Yeah for some reason the siding ended up being too short and all they had were 8ft. That’s a great tip, we definitely don’t want any water getting in! We’re total amateurs so any advice helps.

Every project is a learning experience. Your next build will be twice as good.

Thanks so much, it was a really fun project! We did it mostly for aesthetic but it also helps prevent any rain water from getting in by adding that extra layer of protection.

Yeah the plywood only came in 8ft boards so we had to make do with the outcome unfortunately. Considering all of our beginner mistakes we still managed to make it work. If there’s a will, there’s a way. 😃

Amazing you figured out that plywood is not supposed to be less than a foot from the soil There's plenty of other channels on KZread where they can't figure out OSB and plywood it's not designed to be basically in-ground contact it's required to be 12 inches above the soil

It’s such a small structure that it doesn’t need bolts. It’s the size of a small shed 10x12. So far it’s held up really well. We’ve been booked with Airbnb all summer with no issues :)

You know that sound you get when either the drill is not straight or the bit your using is the wrong one for the screw. Bite the bullet and get yourself an Impact driver. As for that overlap at the bottom of your wall boards you could get a metal flashing which will go under the wall covering and over the wood. Then you will just have to paint the bottom boards. Just a thought. If I remember rightly a normal windowsill angle is 22.5 degrees. that will not only cover the bottom of the windows but also that wall sheeting so it sheds water..

Désolée d’écrire en français, mais je me pose Une question. Votre Tini-house ne repose QUE sur cinq piliers de bois ??? , sans fondation solide en béton armé. Par contre je salue votre courage et votre détermination. Bravo.👏🏻👏🏻🎄🎄. Félicitations.

Merci ! Oui, les 5 piliers en bois reposent sur 59 kg de dalles de ciment. L'habitacle n'est qu'un 10x12 et l'extérieur est fait de revêtement en t1-11 qui pourrirait probablement s'il était placé directement sur le sol. Si nous construisions quelque chose de plus grand et de plus cher, nous le poserions probablement sur une fondation en béton.
