Keeping HVAC systems within the conditioned enclosure can be tough without a basement; one option is to use plenum trusses for the roof, which offer a space for equipment and ductwork.

There are lots of different types of miter clamps. Could you describe it?
Opportunity is when luck and preparation come together.
This was used when we were trimming out drs & wins . It was a 90* angle that goes over an outside corner, it had barbs that dug into the casing and with a key of sorts you can close up the gap 100%.I guess it had to have a cam type device . I sometimes biscuit my trim if the stock allows it .
