You've probably thought of this already but is there a slight angle on the roofs of the shed and cooler so the rain will run off?

I won't get to do anything today as I have to work and I also have a BJCP class tonight after work.
That said, I'm thinking about hanging the door. With most walk ins, you see the door swings outward and seals against the outer wall (assume a nice sealing surface for an actual cooler versus something like stucco). The door I got is an exterior home door and likely will swing inwards in the configuration is it designed. Is there any advantage (I will be using PVC strips behind the door on the inside of the cooler) to flipping it to swing outward? The sealing surface would be then facing out but the sill plate would then be facing in. I don't care anything about left hand versus right hand ergonomics. My main concern is to get the most efficient configuration. I will be insulating the inside face of the door as well and IR/thermal barrier layer on the outside.
Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
Why not just get an outswing door ? All commercial steel doors are flush outswing doors with good seals
I talked to the lady in Qatar who was on the HOA board last year. She said to fill out the form they asked for and go talk to them in person. She said the letter is nazi like, but the people are incredibly nice and want personal interaction. They will even grant a variance in certain circumstances but I will stay with the "shed" philosophy...
I think so too. I spent the morning writing up the description of the shed build and now all I need to do is draw up some quick sketches and I can submit the paperwork. I think I'll be in good shape.
After this weekend, we should have the shed completely finished and hopefully populated with all the crap in the garage that needs a better home. The cooler won't be that far behind.
I cannot say exactly why they require any kind of permitting. It's just how they roll. I do know they claim to be protecting property values by keeping people from doing stupid schit. Since many people are indeed idiots in any given population, you cannot blame them for this.
Also, it looks like my monthly Photobucket bandwidth limit is almost maxed out, which is most likely due to this thread as my other posted pics certainly don't see as much traffic as this one. Anyone have a good suggestion for free photo hosting sites for forums? Photobucket is nice as I can upload the pics right from their app on my phone. I'm sure there must be viable alternatives...

I have been preparing my permit application packet for the HOA and this is ready to submit. I should be able to have this in the mail today.

We got some vapor barrier work done today, as well as some brown coat and shed work. But Marshall really f#cked the goat as he can't paint worth a crap. He spilled an ungodly amount of primer all over the brand new color coat wall of the shed. The only way to get it off is to strip the color coat and recoat the entire shed as you can't really color match stucco if you patch it. It's a days worth of extra worth at the minimum, a couple days at least to get the paint off all the over surfaces near and around the shed. He even got primer on the carpet in the house which is a long ways from where he was painting.
I'm pissed to say the least. I think most monkeys can paint better than Marshall can. My fault for not supervising more closely but damn he really *****ed it up.
