That's coming right along.

But, um, suicide doors? You don't see those much. Word is that the wind going down the road tends to try and open them up. Harder to keep water sealed out, and potential catastrophic damage if they fling open going down the road. The wind loading can be substantial.

Have you done any test runs? Give the handles a good hard pull at least and see if the doors come open.

It looks like if you had to you could swap your doors side to side and rework the strikers and hinges so that they open normally.

I guess I'm not sure i see the problem, they are hinged on the right and left, the left locks in with pins top and bottom and the right deadbolts in to the left. I didn't go with the usual hinged hatch. Every thing is weather sealed and doesn't leak, but time will tell.

Ahh sorry the side door, i'm half asleep I see your point and Hopefully it stays sealed good, if not I night have to rework it.

What did you use for trim and where did you get it? This is very similar to what I'm working on

God damn what a wonderful Teardrop beautiful building,,

[Weege]

Nice build!
Some of your pics show a nice siding pattern. Did you use FRP and paint it red?

[mezmo]

Nice build there. But, I wonder what you are using for ventilation ?

Cross ventilation is a good thing, especially in smaller areas such as
in a TD. It ensures there is always enough oxygen for the occupants
and also allows the humidity added by the body/bodies and breathing of
the occupants to vent away and not cause condensation inside the TD.
The AC may, or may not, have an outside air inlet, which could help,
but probably not as much as needed or desired. Most use a fantastic
fan type of setup in/on the roof/ceiling or a window, at least, opposite
the door. You could also add a fan high up on the sidewall opposite the
door if you don't want to have an opening in the roof. It'd pay off in your
comfort level as well.

Cheers,
