Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

Chest cold is continuing to worsen. Told MrsWx to just put me out of my misery.

You should be posting the Man Colds thread. Needs to be bumped. ;)

No, but this roof is a 7 so it's really tall, taller than it needs to be. And there's 2 foot bump outs everywhere so there's a bunch of gables.
I've never understood making a roof with extra stuff on it. Straight even slope roofs give you the best chance for no leaks. IMO

Agree. Sometimes when I see the McMansions being built I think someone must have gone crazy on the design screen and had roof truss fetish and wanted to see how many different ones they could work into the design.

I look at those types of design, especially roof design and think about snow turning to ice, and how many angles there are, and if they did it that way to allow a zillion more odd-shaped windows, etc. Then I wonder how some of those windows ever get cleaned. But I digress.
 
It's all about look. There's at least 14 roof faces on this house. And another thing is the garage has become the focal point of houses now. There's only one front facing window now and it's usually a bedroom, so you can't see out the front of your house.

Does the garage have an elevator? Back in my college days, a school mates parents had an elevator so they could move their cars around for the current season so they could have the cars they wanted on the right level of the garage.
