It's great to see how the roof is taking shape around the big bedroom dormer....
Next he started working on the dog house dormer, that is going to be my new office window! So let me tell you about Dormers! The dormer in our bedroom is what one would call a Shed Dormer - This dormer has a single flat plane roof, but it is sloped in the same direction as the principal roof only at a shallower angle. See Above. A shed dormer can provide head room over a larger area than a gabled dormer, but as its roof pitch is shallower than the main roof it may require a different roof covering.
We are also having 3 "dog house dormers" or Gable fronted dormer: Also called simply a gabled dormer, this is the most common type. It has a simple pitched roof of two sloping planes, supported by a frame that rises vertically to form a triangular section below the roofline, i.e. a gable. It is also known as a dog-house dormer (due to its similar shape).
You can Thank me later for all of this knowledge that I am imparting to you weekly!
