Very good....I am going to visit healdburg next week and will call you. 2 of my projects are under existing houses, basement apartments, though hillside houses have above-grade basements. I learned my trades building self-help houseing projects (Jimmy Carter-ish projects). I also have a beautiful tiny detached garage I am going to convert to a tiny house too....love small efficient spaces...spent today at a used trailer place in Stockton CA but none have the charm of a tiny stick-built house.

A few suggestions. Wrap the framing in a breathable moisture barrier. Tar paper is cheap and works great. Housewrap (Tyvek et al) is good but not so cheap. Builders tend to have both lying around. As to Shear strength. Some diagonal bracing and board siding will provide ample shear for a small structure. I used Ice & Water for the roof on my Shed-Tow. As a roofing product I used roll steel from a metal recycler in Gilroy. It has a orange rust/oxidation and looks great. Cost about 200.00. In the old days they would put a small window or vent near the gable inside to prevent condensation. Years in tents and vans has led me to believe that an open window or vent is better than trying to get the vapor through the walls. Also you can get free pain at many landfills. If you prime your framing before closing the walls & ceiling you can keep mold away. Add an anti fungal to your primer/paint if it doesn't have it. Good Luck and keep dry. Looking good Jenine.
