// About The (Not So Tiny) Tiny House Build Series //
I’m building a 630 ft2 tiny house / guest house in our backyard and covering the whole process, start to finish.
In Part 10, I covered how to install exterior PVC trim, including building window trim, door trim, and corner boards. Watch here : https://youtu.be/e-uHFGgM1AE
Part 13, which will be published on April 9, will cover installing the DIY mini-split units in the house and how to rough-in a mini split in new construction. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss the upcoming videos!
