When finishing the house, one must think like a drop of water. I quote this from Daniel Bell at the Four Lights workshop. I probably should have mention this on an earlier page, but it seems more appropriate in this section.
Ondivilla 3d shingles were used on my house, inspired by Jen and Guillaume from Tiny House Giant Journey. Glad to find an alternate roofing material other than metal roofing that is typically used. Thanks to Buddy and Carolyn for being more than helpful and patient with all my question. They sent me all the necessary installation documentation and there's also a ton of good videos on youtube. I'm not going to get in the specifics of the roofing installation.

Some additional prep work needed to be worked out before installing the shingles. The trim at the fascias need to be fastened and then a piece of metal drip edge other the roof edge and fascia was nailed to revert water away from the house. Once again, Sal at Homestead Sheet Metal (http://www.homesteadsheetmetal.com/), bent the drip edge for the main room, loft, and utility shed roof pitches. The drip edge was nailed under the roofing paper and over the fascia trim board.

At the side wall, I install a 3" piece of L metal flashing nailed directly to the roof sheathing and wall sheathing and use adhesive flashing tape over the metal on the wall. That was probably a bit excessive, but the thought of rain and tiny house construction frightens me. The paper went over the metal flashing. The Onduvilla shingle were installed to the side wall, a minor adjustment needed to be made to the shingles that ended on the side wall. Then a piece of Z-bar was nailed to the wall, with the depth of the Z-bar extending back over the corrugated shingle. Finally, the side wall bevel siding was installed over the Z-bar. This should revert rain away from the house and down the shingle as intended.
I find the final product to be ascetically pleasing and works well with the rustic appearance of the craftsman style house. I don't think metal shingles could have better accomplished this for this situation. I now say "Let it rain!"
