Hey all,

My Name is Justin.  Currently building a tiny home on wheels in Hawaii, with not too much experience and some help.  

Due to width restrictions we could not design much for eaves on the long sides of our build.  We have lots of windows that are beautiful reclaimed port orford cedar, but they have no window flange.  I flashing taped them to create one basically.  I am in a spot now where a builder friend has advised I redo some of the  flashing work by taking some the the aluminum siding down to make a bigger drip edge, both longer and further out from building to save it so much of the water doesnt even pass by the window openings.  I think its a good idea, although a bit defeating as now I have to redo some work.  At this point I am re considering taking all the shingles down as we got them for free anyway and considering going corrugated metal siding as I have to order a bunch new flashing anyway.  I just want this things to be as waterproof as possible.  Seems like J trim would be the best way to go?  I was told just L and thats the way i was going but now I see this as a potential for water to get behind siding.  Anyway would like to get some ideas and eyes on it.  Going backwards sucks but Im taking it as an opportinuty to go forwards with a better design.  Like I said, we get lots of rain but lots of sun too.  I have attached photos of some of the build, both where we have sided and havent.  Thanks in advance!
