Writer transforms apartment bedroom into creative office
I moved my office from a 77 sq.ft. backyard shack with no insulation to a nice-sized apartment bedroom. In the process, I built a wall-to-wall bookcase. All DIY modifications are renter-friendly.

    Does Herculiner come in a smooth white color or just black? I've been to their site & I'm not seeing it? I know Durabak 18 does. Both products are great! But I believe Herculiner was a little less expensive. I want to put at least "two coats" on my tub. Was 1 gallon more than enough or should I buy just a 1/2 gallon size? Thanks!

    “Basically no wind drag” is absolutely not true. Also that’s not a very aerodynamic shape, your leading edge is to gradual and the trailing edge just drops right off when it would ideally be extremely gradual.

    what you are doing is a tough build, I have built over 200 teardrops and I have found its best not to over think things, you don't need to have such drastic angles to shed water because the truck won't be perfectly level especially when you store it, "keep it simple" and the build we be more enjoyable. keep it up :)
