Kinda sad, we're so subconsciously commercialized... definitely a roof line I wouldn't have... It's a hip roof style on steroids.

I was fully anticipating a leak somewhere, nada. The upstairs bedroom(s) could be used as an IMAX theater.

That's a "hip" roof, alright.
I wonder if it started life covered with cedar shakes? If it did, there was a long history of leaks, no doubt.
Somebody did an impressive job putting that roof on. The one thing I don't see is ventilation for the roof cavities. That design doesn't allow for venting. You'd have to install a vent in every panel.

Kind of a geodesic dome with gables.

It's the bastard child of a geodesic dome and a traveling barn salesman.

I didn't make that up.
You should be ashamed of yourself for knowing that. No one is supposed to know that.

Geodesic-ish - I like that better for reporting. I was just showin' off. It's pretty hard to put a geodesic-ish roof on that doesn't leak.
Are you sure you don't have these hanging on the rear view of the inspectormobile?
